have u-boot return an error.
Is NULL what you consider to be an error
yes
Besides, is not free(NULL) valid (does nothing) as well?
yes, free(NULL) should work fine per POSIX -mike
Well then, this patch wasn't accepted yet and I consider it OK to apply. Any objections?
There was a long debate on the list regarding this where I argued that malloc(0) should not be an error and malloc should return a ptr != NULL I guess that is why it hasn't been applied.

Ok, let's restart. Is there any objection why malloc(0) should not return NULL in uboot?
Yes, read the thread to see why.
Is it coliding with any spec?
No, both are valid.
