Do you mean comment regarding Arcangel4 board itself?
I upstreamed a number of drivers in both u-Boot and Linux kernel and
each time I put a brief description of device I'm submitting sources for
in commit message.

If this is uncommon and/or redundant I may remove this message in the
next re-spin.

Thanks, will re-visit this part.

Indeed this is standard. But as I wrote earlier - since there's no
guidance (or at least I didn't manage to find it) on how to use stuff in
u-boot I went grepping through existing u-Boot sources and I saw how
it's done.

It might be once again my tough luck in selection of examples...

Regards,
Alexey
