This information belongs in a README somewhere. Just like you can't keep notes in the Linux kernel's arch/*/configs/ files you can't keep notes in the top-level configs directory in U-Boot (just like you can't keep notes in the defconfig files in other Kbuild projects, unless they're being extra careful about only hand-editing those files). -- Tom
