[U-Boot] Building u-boot for iMX28 and getting error in mkimage of missing command line parameter CONFIG_IMX_CONFIG

[Bill <bsousan@techsi.com>]

Progress!   I switched all the references from ttyAMA0...   to ttyAM0.  
Also changed netargs too.  Now it starts to boot linux but hangs right 
after the line of:
     mxs_cpu_init:  cpufreq init finished.
In regards to your question, yes it was booting the mainline kernel.

Here is the latest output from the boot.
