Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] Append board name to version identifier

Dear Ed Swarthout,

so it is printed as part of the version command and visible when displaying the image in the various flash banks.

This allows "strings u-boot.bin | head -1" to identify target:

I don't think this is a good idea, especially as it afects the user interface for all boards.

Please feel free to define local settings for boards that are maintained by you (oops... there aren't any...), but I don't want to change this globally.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
