Dear Simon,

This series handles moving sandbox to the latest version of SDL, SDL2. It provides a few more features, better performance and has been around for long enough that it is present in distributions in the last several years.
One thing that I never really understood is what SDL is actually good for? Yes, I read in doc/arch/sandbox.rst that it provides "display/keyboard support" - but what exactly can I do with a "SDL enhanced" U-Boot compared to a non-SDL sandbox configuration?
And why is this the default?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
