Dear Xiangfu Liu,

Add support for the qi_lb60 (a.k.a QI Ben NanoNote) clamshell device from Qi hardware:
http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Ben_NanoNote http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Main_Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qi_hardware
This Jz4740-based clamshell device does not use NOR flash to boot. The initial bring-up assumes that U-Boot is directly loaded into SDRAM using USB boot tool, and starts from 0x80100000.

It has been pointed out (see [1]) that the files
board/qi/qi_lb60/qi_lb60.c include/configs/qi_lb60.h
added by this patch are licensed as GPL "version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version" - however, this is incompatible with the GPLv2 and GPLv2+ licenses that cover the rest of U-Boot.
Would you be willing to re-license these files under GPLv2+ (and submit apatch to do that) ? Otherwise we would probably be forced to remove the qi_lb60 board support to be legally clean.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but obviously this issue slipped through at the initial review of the code...

No answer since > one week.
Should we revert this for v2013.07, then?
Best regards
