Hi,

After spending some time going trough u-boot recipes trying to make sense of its
buildsystem, I noticed some strange problems and inconsistencies.

First the easy part: we need *one* spelling for u-boot, instead of uboot, u-boot, u-bot,
etc. What is the preferred one nowadays?

Second: it seems that the 'mkimage' tool is at least arch speficic (at worst
board-specific), so uboot recipes should install it to
${STAGING_NATIVE_DIR}/mkimage.u-boot.${MACHINE_ARCH}

what do you think about all this?

regards,

Koen
