Last time it was proposed, IIRC, it was late in the release cycle and
people were worried about breaking other BSPs. I think every BSP which
has specific patches on top of U-Boot mainline should handle it on the
BSP so I see no reason to keep all those, I am all for updating to
2013.07.

As I said, we're using it in meta-fsl-arm for some time.
