[U-Boot-Users] Do we enable Interrupts in U-Boot?

As mentioned before, U-Boot is not an operating system which provides
such means. It doesn't have a driver layer with file operations similar
to Linux. The only way to wait for events exactly simultaneously is
using a hardware which provides these events in one hardware register.

Usually one would poll the event sources:

...

while (1) {
	if (driver_a_check_data_available()) {
		driver_a_read_data();
	}
	if (driver_b_check_data_available()) {
		driver_b_read_data();
	}
}

if this will be implemented in an U-Boot command, you probably want
this loop also to be left, e.g. by pressing Ctrl-C:

while (!ctrlc()) {
...
}
