Just out of curiosity: Why do you need that?

It was my understanding that with recent U-Boot and Kernel on SabreLite
DeviceTree is the way to go? And this doesn't need the mach-types any more?

Maybe Troy wants to also allow U-boot to load a non-DT kernel, such as
the one provided by Freescale?


That's exactly right. With the addition of a couple of small things:

        - machid
        - revision tag (used by Freescale's kernel)

we can start shipping main-line U-Boot with Sabre Lite.

This seems like a worthwhile step, especially for those of us switching
between kernels.
