No need to argue! You could^H^H^H^H^Hshould use the i.MX port that comes with U-Boot and only change what you need instead of having a completly different und unsupported version yourself.
When I started evaluating/porting U-boot for the i.MX there wasn't yet nay support for it in the official release 1.1.0.
AND: more important: Having an own (incompatible) version prevents you from giving us (the comunity) something back!
When we'll be finished with our development I'll make the necessary changes to be "compatible" (there aren't so many differences), as I said that was for me the quickest way.
When I'll find some time (it's not the case for the near
future) I would be
pleased to help in creating a better SoC structure.
What don't you like about the existing SoC structure?
The basic idea is fine, but as you said, the cpu/arm920t should contains only the code for the ARM920T and not like start.s which contains SoC specific code (S3C24x0).
