-Subject: [PATCH] tools/env: change stripping strategy to allow no-stripping
-
-When building the U-Boot tools for non-ELF platforms (such as Blackfin
-FLAT), since commit 79fc0c5f498c3982aa4740c273ab1a9255063d9c
-("tools/env: cross-compile fw_printenv without setting HOSTCC"), the
-build fails because it tries to strip a FLAT binary, which does not
-make sense.
-
-This commit solves this by changing the stripping logic in
-tools/env/Makefile to be similar to the one in tools/Makefile. This
-logic continues to apply strip to the final binary, but does not abort
-the build if it fails, and does the stripping in place on the final
-binary. This allows the logic to work fine if stripping doesn't work,
-as it leaves the final binary untouched.

-Cc: Sonic Zhang <sonic.zhang@analog.com>
----
-An improved solution would be to be able to override STRIP completely
-by setting it to /bin/true, but the main Makefile enforces STRIP =
-$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] tools only in no dot config targets
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Revert upstream commit c7ad5cbb1ef2c33883f0fa7d0455095004fd306d:
+
+    Makefile: drop "tools-only" from no-dot-config-targets
+
+This indirectly pulls in a build-dependency on libssl-dev used for FIT
+image support, and possibly GPL/OpenSSL licensing incompatibility
+issues.
+
+Based on Debian patch from u-boot-tools:
+http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/u-boot/u-boot_2014.10+dfsg1-2.1.debian.tar.xz
