I've seen them posted internally at Freescale for a couple months now.  Some
BSPs are using them.  I don't think anyone, besides me, has tried to get any
rodata fixes committed upstream.  Maybe the thought of fixing 500 other boards
they know nothing about is scaring them away?  Some links:

http://www.bitshrine.org/gpp/u-boot-1.1.3-mpc832x-rodata-str-1.patch
http://www.bitshrine.org/gpp/u-boot-1.1.3-mpc8349itx-rodata-str-1.patch
http://www.bitshrine.org/gpp/u-boot-1.3.2-mpc8272ads-rodata-str-1.patch

IMHO, the way I've done it is better.
