This is what a forum would be great for, but since LEDE's actions
indicate it doesn't seem to care about having a userbase...
Go use the OpenWRT forum and start a new thread. That's what I did
recently when I started working on a new router. He's my tread as an
example:

Post pictures (imgur or whatever), document you progress as you go, and
even if you give up, your work is there for others to continue on with
if they want to do so.
Is it important, to have an own working uboot, or should I create some
kernel/rootfs image first ? What is the correct way? When I brick the
current vendor uboot, is there a way, to restore it via serial
interface?
Most OpenWRT/LEDE supported routers leave the OEM u-boot/bootloader in
place and work around it where needed. Replacing it isn't impossible,
but it's not easy.
You probably can't fix a broken u-boot without using a JTAG or some
other means to write directly to the flash storage device. That's why
most people don't mess with changing the u-boot.
This all being said, the first thing you should probably do is find out
of those ADSL modems are supported under Linux already. If they are not,
and you don't have the skills to write a new driver for it, just turn
around, go home, and forget all about this because they will probably
never get supported.
Good luck!
