[yocto] Updating uboot to v2013.01

[Satya Swaroop Damarla]

Another important package that has to be installed in  the "apt-get install
device-tree-compiler" package. This was adviced by the Thierry Reding, wh
wrote the uboot config for Tamonten board.. Rudolf, may I ask you how did
you find the SRCREV values for the uboot packages ... It would be great to
know as there is not sufficient literature avilable to explain this on the
internet...
