For code that we import en-bloc, we explicitely make expections to
U-Boot rules[1]:

  Source files originating from different projects (for example the MTD
  subsystem or the hush shell code from the BusyBox project) may, after
  careful consideration, be exempted from these rules. For such files, the
  original coding style may be kept to ease subsequent migration to newer
  versions of those sources.

Well, at least I thought it at one moment in the past :)

Cheers
