I've taken a look at it, but decided to leave this patch as-is. Here is 
what I wrote on the Freescale forum:

~~~~
I'm going to keep my U-Boot patch mostly as-is for a few reasons:
- The patch disables battery voltage measurement when there is no battery
- The patch disables all code paths relating to booting from battery
- The power block configuration is based primarily on the Fressscale 
bootlets which I think should be retained unless we can come up with 
some pretty clear and convincing arguments as to why an alternative 
approach is better

I think there is scope for some refactoring of the power block setup 
code in U-Boot, but for now I think it best to leave it as close to the 
bootlet code sequence as practical
