The AVR32 has been fully integrated into U-Boot for quite some time
and I think there should be no reason to give any special consideration
when bumping versions.

It might be good to allow for several versions of U-Boot though,
if some release do break a board or architecture.

The reason for providing prepatched U-boot in the Atmel directory is the AT91.
The AT91 team failed to get even a reply when they submitted  patches, 
so they basically gave up.

Now, the U-Boot project has changed strategy and there is a significant number 
of "Custodians" and the AT91 team has been working with third parties which
are subitting patches to the Custodians on almost daily basis.

I hope the situation will stabilize and that the AT91 stuff can be merged in 
mainstream buildroot during the summer.
