Are there plans to keepup with being able to use a kernel generated fdt?
eg effectively ignoring things we don't care about like sound cards and
wifi?

I can see definite advantages for manufacturers to be able to roll one
kernel and one bootloader across a product line, then one fdt per model.
It almost makes this whole mess make sense. :-)  The kirkwood SoC would
be a good example.

Do you have a git tree up that I could base off of?  git.chromium.org's
version of u-boot doesn't seem to have your code...

thx,

Jason.
