But, other local, private, resource management structures are encouraged to be shrinked/optimized, as it's just waste of ROM space.

Originally U-boot of PowerPC is not importance for the size because the size is large.

Size *is* important. Please read the docs - it's pointed out again and again.

It is important to maintain interchangeability with the Linux kernel driver. It is important that maintenance is good.

Agreed.

But we can easily disable / #define out unused parts of the code and data structures as Jean-Christophe suggested, without adding any significant maintenance problems.
