I was working on a patch to OE-CORE for u-boot. I got a pushback stating 
beaglebone was not working on master. So I started on master, however I 
did verify my patch on Krogoth as well(both works and build u-boot using 
outoftree source code). Didn't realize beaglebone also existed in 
meta-yocto-bsp, now i have verified in all the possible combinations for 
beaglebone :)

Thanks for all the help, much appreciated

Thanks
