This turned out to be much less invasive than I originally thought, so once those patches are finalized, uImage might be irrelevant except for initrds (U-Boot already accepts a raw FDT without uImage wrapping for bootm and hence bootz). http://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot-0aAXYlwwYIKGBzrmiIFOJg@public.gmane.org/msg69287.html -- nvpublic
