BBB 1GHz patches for u-boot 2014-01

[fabiodive]

I also had the same problem during crochet building,
in the end I solved it changing the crochet script,
I disabled an u-boot checking block and I changed the 
source path where to install from the u-boot forcing the
absolute path of the port, that was a dirty fix because I wanted first
to see if the patch set works.

thank you
