Which is no good idea. CPU is ARM920T and each and every board copies
everything it needs from other boards.

Is there any activity to work on a "next generation u-boot" which avoids
all the design glitches we currently have? It's nearly impossible to
restructure things in a tree which is supposed to be production code. I
think of things like config frontend, everybody-is-alowed-to-add-tons-
of-trailing-whitespace-if-he-is-not-robert, layered drivers which hold
their pointers to the hardware in structures instead of 1001 ifdefs etc.
