 I assume the problem will be fixed soon upstream, so the chance that some chip
vendor releases a U-Boot based on 2015.07 is not that high. And if someone is
making their own modified git copy of 2015.07, they'll notice _very_ quickly
that it fails and with any luck they'll notice the patch in buildroot.

 Not fixing the problem at all in 2015.08 is obviously worse.

 We could do a sed independent of the U-Boot version, but that runs the risk of
breaking some other random non-2015.07 version completely.

 The problem is in fact in Kconfig (as noted in Tom Rini's comment in
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/502793/ ) so a fundamental solution is not easy.

 Regards,
 Arnout
