I assume splitting into 4 parts: (1) dfu gadget, (2) board specific code,
(3) flashing backend generic code, (4) dfu command.

As I today discovered, after latest merges in u-boot master the mmc
subsystem in Goni does not work properly - the detected capacity is 0,
and the number of available partitions is 0.
This took me some time to discover. I hope the responsible person will
fix this soon. So, as far as the splitting of my dfu implementation
into separate patches is concerned, I think I will come up with it
early next week.

In the beginning I intend to split the code into respective parts,
to give you something to work with. Then I intend to clean the code up,
taking into account your and Mike's review.
