Fabio Estevam 38e7007725 mx6: Fix get_board_rev() for the mx6 solo case 
When booting a Freescale kernel 3.0.35 on a Wandboard solo, the get_board_rev()
returns 0x62xxx, which is not a value understood by the VPU
(Video Processing Unit) library in the kernel and causes the video playback to
fail.

The expected values for get_board_rev are:
0x63xxx: For mx6quad/dual
0x61xxx: For mx6dual-lite/solo

So adjust get_board_rev() accordingly and make it as weak function, so that we
do not need to define it in every mx6 board file.

U-Boot for the Freescale i.MX6q SabreLite board

This file contains information for the port of U-Boot to the Freescale
i.MX6q SabreLite board.

1. Boot source, boot from SD card
---------------------------------

The recent mainline U-Boot for the Freescale i.MX6q SabreLite board supports
boot from SD card only. However, by default, the SabreLite
boards boot from the SPI NOR flash. These boards need to be reflashed with
a small SD card loader to support boot from SD card. This small SD card loader
will be flashed into the SPI NOR. The board will still boot from SPI NOR, but
the loader will in turn request the BootROM to load the U-Boot from SD card.

The SD card loader is available from

https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/MX6QSabreLite

under a open-source 3-clause BSD license.

To update the SPI-NOR on the SabreLite board without the Freescale
manufacturing tool use the following procedure:

1. Write this SD card loader onto a large SD card using:

 sudo dd if=iMX6DQ_SPI_to_uSDHC3.bin of=/dev/sXx

Note: Replace sXx with the device representing the SD card in your system.

Note: This writes SD card loader at address 0

2. Put this SD card into the slot for the large SD card (SD3 on the bottom of
the board). Make sure SW1 switch is at position "00", so that it can boot
from the fuses.

3. Power-up the SabreLite, press 'space' to enter command mode in the U-Boot
(the default one the board is shipped with, starting from the SPI NOR) and
enter the following commands:

 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > mmc dev 0
 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > mmc read 0x10800000 0 200
 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > sf probe 1
 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > sf erase 0 0x40000
 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > sf write 0x10800000 0 0x40000

4. done.

In case you somehow do not succeed with this procedure you will have to use
the Freescale manufacturing tool in order to reflash the SPI-NOR.

Note: The board now boots from full size SD3 on the bottom of the board. NOT
      the micro SD4/BOOT slot on the top of the board. I.e. you have to use
      full size SD cards.

2. Build
--------

To build U-Boot for the SabreLite board:

 make mx6qsabrelite_config
 make

To copy the resulting u-boot.imx to the SD card:

 sudo dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/sXx bs=512 seek=2&&sudo sync

Note: Replace sXx with the device representing the SD card in your system.
