I am not sure; I think the u-boot-boundary gives the clear notion it
is something done by Bondary. If we'd use u-boot-fslc we'd need to
have the changes in same branch as used by other boards or it loses
its meaning.

My goal with u-boot-fslc is to have a /single/ u-boot for most boards;
so it is essentially U-Boot mainline plus bugfixes; supporting
multiple branches for different boards I think it will confuse people.

It seems the best would be if, instead of pushing to our u-boot GIT,
it had regular updates in the u-boot-boundary recipes and point to
newer revisions.

Please don't take it as written in stone, it is just my current point of view.
