Dear Wolfgang,

Sorry for the confusion. I should have been more specific.
What I meant is that my current u-boot version is
tag "rel_imx_3.0.35_4.1.0" from 
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/uboot-imx.git

If I was mentioning the kernel version, it is just to say that switching 
to a more recent kernel
version is not an option, because we do not have a device tree BSP for it.

If the sabrelite board would still be supported in master, it would be 
straightforward.
So I am thinking about re-bringing support for sabrelite my branch, first.
