I putted some thought on this and I think it is better to apply this
kind of fix in u-boot-fslc repository; this eases the maintenance work
of the board, U-Boot and upgrade when newer versions are released.

That said, I also think this ought  to be upstreamed and you (Eric)
being the board maintainer in U-Boot are in the position to say if it
would work for Mars or not. We don't have Mars in meta-fsl-arm-extra
so we don't need to worry much about it in the moment from
meta-fsl-arm-extra perspective.

So I think you (Eric) need to say if you'd be Ok with a patch to
change it globally in U-Boot or not.
