Huh, it wasn't at all obvious to me that your patches were meant for
U-boot, not Linux, sorry (and you didn't specify that in the
subject). There slightly different rules apply, but in general my
comments should all be still relevant. Overall impression I got is
that you're adding a bunch of hacks and that most things about them
would need to be heavily reworked to become digestible for upstream. I
hope more experienced developers will correct me if I'm wrong here.
