I'm not sure if they can be convinced :(

Anyway, what would be the preferred way to improve the xxx_esdhc in 
mainline U-Boot?

Both, the Freescale U-Boot [1] and Barebox [2] have a imx-esdhc.c. With 
this, the options I see for mainline U-Boot are

a) to port the Freescale/Barebox imx-esdhc.c changes/improvements into 
U-Boot's fsl_esdhc.c

or

b) create a new imx-esdhc.c in U-Boot, too.

?

Best regards

Dirk
