Yes, there is no reason to have a conflict with "reset"

In Freescale documentation this is called "boot mode" - using the same
terminology can reduce confusion. I do not discuss which name is better,
but if someone reads the SOC's manual and then find a command for "boot
mode", it is normal that he automatically knows what is going on. "Boot"
conflicts with other u-boot command, then "bmode" is my first choice.
