u-boot binary contains a git describe string so I guess it would make sense to include something similar in README.md, at least it's easier to identify u-boot version from describe string than from a commit id |

If you can grab that git describe string we could include it as well. Essentially I just want to make sure every binary blob we host is matched to the exact source it was built from. u-boot is rightfully sensitive to GPL abuse, and i've gotten unofficial sign-off that this model keeps with the spirit of their licensing. |
