Welcome aboard.

If you want, you can just look around which boards / architectures are
already supported in mainline U-Boot (and/or read the mailing list
archives, or ask) which features are still missing); then check what
is available as out-of-tree code in Freescale's LTIB and other
distributions.  Then start to adapt this out-of-tree code to current
versions of U-Boot, and push the patches mainline.

This is a task where you don't have to start at the lowest levels, and
you can build up your experience gradually as you go.

Good luck!

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
