One topic that come up during OLS in discussions and u-boot BOF was the idea of driving u-boot configuration from a device tree instead of from "config.h". I was wondering if anyone has actually looked at doing this.
This sounds like an interesting idea, having a central repo for all hardware information. A big problem I see is that while device-tree syntax may make sense to Linux kernel propellerheads, to the average Joe it's mind-numbing. Config files are ugly, but at least IMHO are easy to figure out.
I find a device tree much easier to figure out than a tangled mess of header files, #defines, and #ifdefs...

In many ways, yes. But are you an average Joe or a Linux kernel propellerhead?
