OK
return -1;
return 0;
this is an error path, so i think -1 is correct. if you're out of memory, increase your malloc region.
that's what I thought in the first place, but Ben Warren told me that in the initialize function the return value indicates the number of devices that were initialized (see http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-January/066859.html)
