savebp? I thought this command is now 'spl' with some subcommands.

I can not see why git decided to remove that here and add it later on ..
did you change anything in announce_and_cleanup()?

This was not mentioned in commit message, please split this into another
patch (if really required). I vote for 'remove that snipped completely'
cause we should see at compiletime that this funtion is mising.

BTW: you could remove the forward declaration for 'void
get_board_serial(struct tag_serialnr *serialnr)' from setup_serial_tag()
if you implement it some lines above.

Remove whitespace between function name and parameter list (fix globally
when you edit that file).

Shouldn't that return 0 for 'no error' even if not implemented?

I can not see any reason why we should keep create_atags() as another
function here, I think it is cleaner to move the content of
create_atags() to boot_prep_linux() and remove this large list of
requirements for create_atags().

Wrong text here, only FDT did fail, ATAGS where not defined at build time.

NAK, setting (and using) kernel_entry is part of GO subcommand.

Declare kernel_entry function pointer here.

How about strict_strtoul() returning something wrong?

Yoiu should use printf() here as it was bfore so one could see that fact
when booting.

Set kernel_entry function pointer here.

This statement is wrong ... you need to set this in an else statement.
Or reword the content. How about:

debug("Using machid 0x%x\n", machid); ?

Use kernel_entry function pointer here ...

NAK, remove these two functions. Since the ARM linux boot requirements
are different to powerpc we do not need these two states of bootm at all.

The powerpc entry_32.S (in linux) show they need commandline pointer
apart from 'residual board info' pointer. The arm implementation in
head.S (also linux source) says:

---8<---
 * This is normally called from the decompressor code.  The requirements
 * are: MMU = off, D-cache = off, I-cache = dont care, r0 = 0,
 * r1 = machine nr, r2 = atags or dtb pointer.
--->8---

For arm we do not need to prepare the cmdline apart from 'bd_t', we just
need to setup the ATAGS (ord FDT) which contains all information we
need. This could all be done in the prep state.

NAK, the ppc implementation does here

if (flag & FLAG) {
  do_flag_specific()
  return
}
...
do whatever to do without any flag set

which seems much cleaner to me.

I personally dislike the 'if specific flag set or no flag set then do
...' logic here.
