After we had just another round of these discussions I thing we have
again found an agreement that there are good reasons for using
-msoft-float.

I hereby reject your patch.

If you have problems with your tool chain, please feel free to use
the U-Boot provided libgcc functions instead (by providing
USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes on the command line) or even your private
libgcc code (by providing USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=directory_with_your_lib
on the command line).

Or fix your tool chain so it provides a soft-float version of the
needed library routines, too.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
