In that case, I wonder if it might be better for the default recipe to  
build only the version of u-boot that corresponds to the mass-produced  
devices. It would simplify things for regular users if they did not  
have to figure out their board revision and then look for for the  
corresponding u-boot image in the daily buildhost directory, although  
it would be a slight inconvenience for anyone wanting to upgrade an  
earlier prototype.

This can be implemented by commenting out the UBOOT_MACHINES line in  
the recipe and adding machine-specific ones:

UBOOT_MACHINES_om-gta01 = "gta01bv4"
UBOOT_MACHINES_om-gta02 = "gta02v5"
