i thought this was one of the points of u-boot-2 ?
u-boot-v2 is an interesting approach in several aspects, but since it was made publicly visible nearly two years ago it did not collect much of a community around it. From my (strictly personal) point of view, one show stopper is that there is no migration path - if you want to go u-boot-v2, you have to throw away all what is in mainline. And there is a lot of things that are not available in v2.
so, does it make sense to look at the feature set that v2 brings to the table and get it into u-boot v1 ? ive never personally looked at v2, but if it means i need to redo all of my Blackfin core/board code, that doesnt sound very appealing at all ...
So it does make perfect sense to me to add features like Kconfig support to mainline.
i'm not saying it doesnt make sense, just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing anything obvious. -mike
