Well for once thing, it's because you're asking for help on the mailing
list for mainline U-Boot. :-)

We can't help you with some other codebase that we know nothing about.

I do expect mainline is better maintained and supported, except for
missing particular features/hardware support that nobody ever bothered
to submit to mainline -- which in this case appears to be hardware that
you care about, so unless you're prepared to do a fair bit of work to
add support to mainline, I'd try again to find a support channel for
your Freescale-provided U-Boot.  Or maybe we could help you figure out
what it is you want to do, instead of scrubbing, if the answer doesn't
depend on details of a non-standard U-Boot.

Oh, and if you're curious about my freescale.com e-mail address, I work
in a different part of the company and don't have i.MX knowledge or
contacts.
