And how does NAND/OneNAND booting with UBI support fit into this? I assume 
that you have some size restrictions for the IPL/SPL on your platforms as 
well.

As Josh already mentioned, your version might be better suited as a basis for 
mainline inclusion because its more feature complete and probably is for a 
newer U-Boot version.

So best would be to publish your UBI support too, then we can compare and 
decide where to go.

Do you have a rough idea when you could publish your patches?

Thanks.
