Why do you want to do this from a standalone app, instead from code
linked with the U-Boot image?

You can of course link statically against U-Boot, but then you lose
all kind of compatibility, i. e. your app will oly run with this very
U-Boot image, and will crash in all kinds of horrible ways when you
attempt to run it in other environments.
In theory we could of course extend the list of exported functions,
but this is something we don't want, as this would weaken the GPL
nature of the code.

Yes, of course - you can run any command or command sequence
automatically, either as part of your preboot settings, or as bootcmd.
