Hi Becky,

What would be the "newest revision of U-Boot" that implements this 
memory map? We're entering into moving-target territory again here where 
we have no real idea which kernels are required or work or are even 
supported on which versions of the firmware.. and of course this device
tree committed to mainline means that the next set of kernel.org won't
have the right data to boot what could be a perfectly workable kernel
on previous U-Boot versions.

Isn't there any documentation on this apart from git changesets hidden 
behind obscure many-digit hashes?
