I found it at: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-September/101648.html
It's unclear from the discussion there if the patch was accepted and is simply waiting to be merged, or if it was rejected. I'm a little hesitant to apply the same patch to the new Ventana board file it the linked patch isn't actually going to be accepted. Can you comment on this?
obviously i think it's just a matter of time ;). important point being that there are boards already without these targets and they build/clean just fine since these sub-targets never get used.
I don't have this patch on my list. My interpretation was we skip it?
it's dead/inconsistent code (as i showed), and i don't think using it gains us anything. for the few edge cases where arches/boards are adding custom targets to the top level "clean" target, i think that better solved by moving to a kbuild style system where the targets are defined in the subdirs and the top level clean target simply removes the summation of all those variables. -mike
