I don't think this is the right approach, i.e. to take everything from
BSP source as it is and put
it into mainline U-BOOT. AFAIR,  Some of the peripherals present on
these NEXELL SoC's are
compatible with SAMSUNG IP (for instance the UART).
So, are we sure that some of the already existing code in U-BOOT can't
be re-used to drive those
compatible peripherals at-least ?

Thanks
