u-boot-v2 is an interesting approach in several aspects, but since it
was made publicly visible nearly two years ago it did not collect
much of a community around it. From my (strictly personal) point of
view, one show stopper is that there is no migration path - if you
want to go u-boot-v2, you have to throw away all what is in mainline.
And there is a lot of things that are not available in v2.

So it does make perfect sense to me to add features like Kconfig
support to mainline.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
