[U-Boot] [U-boot] Export functions using Jumptable in Standalone application

[Nagesh.ML <ml.nagesh@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Thanks for your responses Wolfgang!
-
I think in that case if I link the initialization code with the u-boot
image, then my standalone application will come under GPL conditions, right?
          If I dont do any network operations in U-boot(dont link the code
with u-boot image), just do the hardware initialization of the switch
registers only, then will my standalone application have any sort of issues
with respect to the GPL?
