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.
