When I started evaluating/porting U-boot for the i.MX there wasn't yet nay
support
for it in the official release 1.1.0.

When we'll be finished with our development I'll make the necessary changes
to be
"compatible" (there aren't so many differences), as I said that was for me
the quickest way.

The basic idea is fine, but as you said, the cpu/arm920t should contains
only the code
for the ARM920T and not like start.s which contains SoC specific code
(S3C24x0).
