Generally speaking, we are intentionally limiting our API to external
applications. It should be easier to extend U-Boot itself (and
everybody will profit from the new code under a free license) rather
than writing proprietary applications.
Can you pleas tell us what the intention of the extension is? We surely
will not accept patches gradually exposing all of the U-Boot internals
through the API and paving the way for proprietary applications. So
every extension has to be balanced and discussed.
Thanks
Detlev
