[U-Boot] [PATCH]: Smart Autoboot

Dear U-Boot community,

I wrote a small patch that checks on autoboot if the image is a kernel
image and if not assumes that it is a standalone image. If the image
is kernel do_bootm is used else (unconditionally) do_go is used.
This is handy if you are working with test applications and kernels,
since you only need to reconfigure your DHCP server and don't need
to re-flash u-boot.

Since I am new to u-boot I'd like to ask if the following patch
is formatted correctly (I have used git format-patch) and if
there is the possiblity to add this feature to mainline UBoot.

Kind regards,

- Johannes
