Bug Description

Spin out from MIR bug ... 613230

This is a problem because we maintain changes against the announced upstream commit from the version in the package. keeping this separated in a diff.gz is wanted.

also politicially u-boot-linaro/stable should be treated as a proper upstream tree; which mean we could use the base revision from that branch rather from the u-boot upstream at denx.de currently used.

while i think we shouldnt use native packaging, if you want to keep doing that, do:

 a) use a proper native package version without any -
 b) use the real packaging branch commit as version (e.g. git describe on linaro-stable-packaged branch)

also while we are at it, the upstream version doesnt need another -linaro suffix. the source package name already reflects that this is based on the linaro u-boot

Should be resolved for release, but nothing here is a blocker for beta. Retargeting.
