Hi,
First post on list.I'm mostly UEFI-centric, currently trying to learn u-boot...
Is there any roadmap/plan for upcoming architectural changes to U-Boot? I recently saw the below comment on a Debian ARM list. I'm hoping u-boot has something like that, but more detailed, for newbies like me to understand upcoming feature changes better. Discussion on driver models, in particular.

Mainline u-boot is currently in the process of slowly converting a large number of drivers and boards to the new driver model, which allows deriving platform configuration from device-trees. Whether and how it might be possible to adapt the kernel overlay model for u-boot as well is still open; work on u-boot in that area depends on the kernel side being settled first.
PS: BTW, nice to see the "U-Boot Verified Boot" feature!
