[oe] u-boot recipe

Dear all,

I've been working on u-boot for calamari (mpc8536ds).
For this hardware freescale has provided patches that ended up in ltid
and that can be downloaded from www.bitshrine.org.
As advised on #oe I have not copied the patches but I am applying them
from bitshrine (argument on #oe was licensing terms).
For those files I also added checksums in the recipe.
Attached is a diff for the recipe.

However, I have some concerns:
Wrt the names: the url's alone already exceed the 80 char limit, and
with a name attached it even becomes longer (and I already removed
part of the name).
Also it does not really look good. Shouldn't we have a separate
u-boot-calamari recipe?

Or, from a more generic view, should every architecture just have its
own u-boot recipe. Currently it is somewhat a hodge-podge as almost
everyone is on a different rev, has patches etc.

And the issue I have is that I actually want to create two images.
There is a u-boot.bin for nand and another one for sd.
Actually I would like to generate both of them (and eventually maybe
even the spi one too).
What would be the best way to achieve that. Two recipes that share an
inc file with most of the meat.

Your feedback and ideas are appreciated!

Frans.
