Thanks.

Sorry, that's a term we use in Freescale. We have in-house code that has not
yet been posted on this mailing list for the "official" U-Boot. That's what I
mean by posting externally. I guess I need a better term for that. We also
call that "upstream".

I haven't written the code yet. I want to make sure the idea is acceptable
before I start implementing it. Plus, since our internal code is different than
our "external" code, I need to manage both code bases independently.
