I did that and got the following reply (without quotes due to cut-and-paste) cu Michael From: Russell King - ARM Linux To: Michael Schwingen Subject: Re: [U-Boot] Update and Cut down mach types - ACTUX* and DVLHOST machines removed What makes it into the kernel is determined by a script which is based upon a couple of simple rules: 1. If the entry appears in a MACHINE_START() declaration in Linus' kernel tree (evaluated on a daily basis), it is kept in the file. 2. If the entry was created or modified in the database within the last 12 months. (2) gives people a way to refresh their entry to ensure that it stays in the list in the mainline kernel. [...] The normal URL which you fetch the file from (as contained within the file) will give you the full listing rather than the cut-down version. There really is no need for uboot to go picking the copy up from the mainline kernel.
