The changes look good to me. 2 comments below:

I'd vote to change autoscr's help messages to something letting end
user's know that the command is deprecated and being replaced by the
"source". Eg something like:
+ autoscr, 2, 0, do_source,
+ "DEPRECATED - see 'source' command",
+ "DEPRECATED - see 'source' command"
Most U-Boot user's are more likely to see this than the
feature-removal-schedule.txt in the source code.

There's an out of place newline here.
