Interesting. Thanks for this info. But what is the implication of this 
new plain GPLv2'ed driver code to the current code in this patch (based 
on your Rocketboard.org version)?

Frankly, I really don't have time and motivation to re-port this new 
Linux version to U-Boot to get the GPLv2 version. How could we solve 
this?  Can you re-release this code under this new license (header)?

Thanks,
Stefan
