Yeah, guess so ... ;-/

I'll definitely have a look at that, sooner or later.

Ok, got it.

Hmm, that's strange, I tried that one but the complaints remained.
Chances are I did something wrong so I will have a look at kconfig.h to get also
around that.

This will be the easiest part then :-)

Funnily enough, I did think about that for a short moment but cowardly
didn't dare restructuring such a central file with my first U-Boot patch
ever ...

But yeah, I fully agree, code replication of non-trivial things deserve
appropriate refactoring, I'll give that a try in my next patch.

Sure, when I am at it anyway for the other path :-)

Actually, the two paths (w/ and w/o redundancy) look to me as if
they probably could be cleaned up even more so that no separate
implementations for these functions would be necessary, but I am
not sure how welcome that would be ...

I don't want to give the impression being a know-it-all, you know,
just want to help a little bit improving things ;-)

Good catch, will have another thorough look at that.
