I don't know exact Google policy. What I do know is that
Googole uses u-boot for their Samsung SoC based Chromebooks.

Also the info on the page:
http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/u-boot-porting-guide/2-concepts

clearly states that it is possible to enable DFU for Chromebooks, which
are using u-boot.

More detailed information is probably Google secret, so you can ask
further questions to Google employees.
