[U-Boot-Users] Duplicate file names

[Jeff Mann]

U-boot users:
 
There are two files in the u-boot reposatory that exist in duplicate
with the difference being the case of some letters in the filename.
These two files README.SBC8560, and sbc8560.h. This causes problems with
operating systems that are case insensative such as windows. I realize
that many people on this list do not like windows, but for the maxiumum
campatability for reading and editing the source code, this should be
resolved by simply renaming one of the duplicate files or deleting the
old file. Comments?

Right, those files are nearly identical. Hard to say which file is "better". I 
would suggest to keep README.SBC8560 and remove README.sbc8560. Any comments 
from people actually using this board welcome.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Right. The content is the same, but README.SBC8560 uses better format.
README.sbc8560 is gone. Ditto for include/configs/SBC8560.h
