Arghhhhh.... you really don't want to do that. At least I don't want
you to do that.

May I please ask you to change the AVR code such that it works the
same way as U-Boot works on all other architectures?

I don't want to have  such  a  divergence  in  design  philosophy.  I
apologize  that  I  did  not  notice  this  earlier  (so I could have
rejected this code right from the beginning).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
