Probably a misunderstanding!

How I am supposed to setup clocks and PLLs and serial port in the AT91RM9200 if 
I don't have any informations?

I thought of something like this in start.S:

#ifdef CFG_USE_EXT_CRYSTAL
	enable_main_oscillator;
#endif

/* set up PLL */
	set PLLA to CFG_PLLAR
	set PLLB to CFG_PLLBR
...

And the user just has to define CFG_USE_EXT_CRYSTAL, CFG_PLLAR etc in his board 
specific header file. Of course without the need to submit his configuration to 
the U-Boot CVS.

Ok?
