This needs to be moved into one of the recipes which define the SRCREV,
otherwise the md5 may change from version to version. md5 and SRCREV
really don't belong in an .inc file.

Would you like to submit this a patch to be included?

I agree that I like this approach better, but it won't make the point
release. Look for this one in 1.1.

The u-boot issues concern me the most. Unfortunately the dev-cut for
5.0.1 is passed. We are looking for much improved bbxm support in 1.1.

Saul, is it too late for a fix like the above to the u-boot md5 to get
into the point release?
