Sometimes I get the impression that we would save a lot of headache by starting afresh and porting the current Linux code into U-Boot thus leverage all this, but nobody yet dared to start such a feat.
If somebody starts over, it would be wise to find a way to use the Linux code unmodified or only automatically converted in U-Boot. Otherwise, every resync is painful again and again.
Absolutely.
With the use of wrapper functions, a few sed/awk/whatever scripts and all kinds of macro trickery, it is should be possible to use the Linux code without manually changing it for U-boot.
In the past this turned out not to be as easy as it sounds. The devil lurks in the details which become apparant only when starting on the job. But of course if somebody accomplishes this, I cannot imagine anyone from stopping him :)
Cheers Detlev
