Are you aware that U-Boot has scripting capabilities, to the extend of
being able to run shell scripts?

What you are asking for can be pretty easily implemented using a few
macro definitions utilizing the aforementioned features.

If you think something is missing, please point out which specific
feature you think is missing.

Please make sure to read the previous postings and the available
documentation on this topic.

You can define boot commands, and change these definitions with each
boot you perform.

Don't look for a turn-key solution, instead look for building blocks
which you can easily put together.

The "bootargs" variable normally gets built dynamically, and of cource
you can change the settings each time you build it.

Best regards,
