Yes, see:

We want to use the Linux kernel code for the main U-Boot, which
is not fully upstream yet (and will likely not be for a while)
as it needs per partition config (ecc / scrambler) settings, as
well as merging of scrambler support into the upstream kernel first.

We will likely have a u-boot branch with this working soon-ish,
but getting this merged is a different story.

Hans
