Why would you want to do such a weird thing?
By the time Linux boots, U-Boot will be completely overwritten in
memory. After all, Linux is perfectly able to care for itself ;)

So implement similar code in the Linux driver.

We do not do such a form of sharing. Actually we copy much code from
Linux to U-Boot - the other way is rather seldom - and then we try to
keep the code exatly the same as in Linux to allow for easy updates in
the future.
