Works for me, but I do hope we need u-boot-ti_git.bb sparingly as I'm
just using that for requests for Albert to pull into u-boot-arm (it's
possible that stuff might stay in 'next' for a while, ie when merge
window closes but I don't want to lose stuff) so please make sure it's
marked as a rebasing git tree.
