I did some more changes to the posted patch. Mostely to address the 'do not fixup NULL pointer' mentioned by Joakim Tjernlund and to get a cleaner architecture (e.g. do not copy register content that often; before the decision if we need the fixup the original version does some unnecessary copies and on some other places also).

Will have a look for your patch tomorrow (I'm still busy today ;(
Will send another version of my patch also tomorrow, maybe in the evening.

Normally I work on top of u-boot. There where some changes these days so I will have to rebase and see whats happened.
