Ideally you should come up with a workign implementation based on the
current stable tree.  The locate any additional commits in Linux that
are needed / useful from your point of view, and check if these can be
applied _directly_ (i. e. the unmodified Linux commits) to the U-Boot
tree.  If we can do this, any future updates will be much easier, so
this is a good test for the benefits of the new version.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Let's say the docs present a simplified view of reality...    :-)
