Plain U-Boot doesn't use any interrupts, although there are files
like cpu/<arch>/<subarch>/interrupts.c which contain some timer
handling functions.

But nevertheless you can implement your own interrupt handling
while being quite sure that no standard drivers or functions from
U-Boot will cause conflicts.

If you want to push such an interrupt based functionality to the
mainstream U-Boot, this will probably not be acceptable, unless you
have extraordinary good arguments why interrupts are required.

With best regards

PS.: If you need some consultancy services for U-Boot, Linux or
   other embedded device development, don't hesitate to contact me
   directly. ;-)
