Sadly, I don't have this old hardware anymore. I have lent my first
generation beagleboard to another person several years ago and have no
idea where it is now. Maybe I should try to get it back one day :)

But taking the "formal" route, I checked who is the current beagleboard
maintainer and looks like that's Tom Rini, who is already quite
conveniently in the CC ;-)

Basically, this old hardware is either maintained or not. If it is
maintained, then probably the board maintainer is the best person to
review and test the errata patches.
