Hi George,
This patch was made for u-boot 2015, and it is in upstream process to u-boot's master branch. They will be released in the next u-boot release.
There are multiple ways to get it working, you can apply the patch directly you would need the previous the previous patches, and I don't know which are the ones that it depends on.
Or you can clone our custodian branch "u-boot-imx". This is the easiest way, and it will have the latest changes for u-boot and the imx branch
git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot-imx.git
Or you can try to backport it to previous versions, but that would require more work.
Regards,
Raul Cardenas
