[U-Boot] standalone apps and their use of exported functions

Link your application with U-Boot?

This question makes no sense to me. A patch is only needed until your
code is in mainline, and then it should be working in future versions
automatically. And the  standalone  application  is  separated  by  a
well-defined  interface,  which  should also be upward compatible, to
that would keep working, too.

Best regards,
