Yes, I think the S5P6818 is a follow-up of the S5P4418. Is it planed to
include those patches into U-Boot master? Or is there a branch where 
those
patches are already included so I can have a look at it and to be able 
to
use those patches where possible?

Thanks a lot for the links. I did some research on this subject but I 
have not
found any source code for the S5P4418 2ndBootloader. Unfortunately, the
S5P6818 2ndBootloader is not of much use because the initialization of 
the
DDR-Ram Controller is different. So I will have a lock at  [3].

See my reply to Tom Rini.
