I meant the official u-boot from denx.de vs the one FSL ships w/its
boards & BSPs. The BSP u-boot has modifications that don't exist in
the denx.de u-boot (as the quality of the code is not up to open
source standards).
That is all I meant.
My statement was to convey that the kernel.org kernel should only
worry itself with the denx.de u-boot (w/regards to compatibility).
