[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] ARM: mxs: tools: Use mkimage for BootStream generation
Now that mkimage can generate an BootStream for i.MX23 and i.MX28, use the mkimage as a default tool to generate the BootStreams instead of the elftosb tool. This cuts out another obscure dependency.

This is clearly a mxsimage thing; I do believe MXSIMAGE_TARGET is more clear.

Please read the patch again, the tool that is invoked is called "mkimage" . I disagree.

Please read the patch again, the tool that is invoked is called "mkimage" . I disagree.
But it is used to generate the mxsimage.cfg in .../mxsimage.$(MKIMAGE_TARGET-y).cfg
So it is really an mxsimage thing.
For something named MKIMAGE_TARGET I would expect it being in the mkimage call.

IFF you look at the pattern above (-ELFTOSB -> +MKIMAGE), you can see the name of the variable contains the name of the tool. I want to stick with MKIMAGE_ here.
