It is not clear to me whether you're expressing a coding rule or just a
statement of fact, so I'll ask more precise questions:

1) is UTF-8 allowed or not in u-boot?

2) if UTF-8 is allowed along with ISO8859-1, then a) which one should be
preferred for new files, and b) which should be preferred for patches to
existing files?

3) if UTF-8 is not allowed, then what should be done about the 56 u-boot
source files that currently are UTF-8?

Wolfgang, can you explicitly answer these points? In case the answer to
question 3 is "they should be converted to ISO", of course being the one
to raise the issue, I shall be the one to submit the fix.

Amicalement,
