And It makes the code more readable. It's the pro.

Yes, It's the con. But, how many times does it happen?.

Ummm, lib_arm/imx?. I think this mixes up concepts.
Why not to decouple the arm cores and the SoC code?. For example:
          cpu/arm/cores/arm926ejs 
          cpu/arm/soc/imx
Perhaps, there was a discussion about this in U-Boot and I'm talking 
nonsense.
Anyway, you are the mainteiner so you have the last say. ;-)

Best regards,
Txema.
