This is not a generic U-Boot problem, just one oif the 85xx implementation.
On a related matter, I believe that one should be able to have a minimal emulator config that allows you to both program flash efficiently and debug u-boot via BDI/gdb. I have always managed to do this before with our earlier freescale CPUs but now seems hard(impossible?) with the current u-boot design. It is a major pain to change emul config each time you do the burn flash/debug cycle.
I agree with you - but again, this is "only" a 85xx issue, not a generic U-Boot design problem.
Yes, should have been more specific.
