I fail to see why this is something to pursue. Since the distro knows
the boot path, why should u-boot be polling all possible options?
As such, relying exclusively on boot.scr wouldn't be useful.
Seems like a logical thing to me, as long as the scripts itself
does not have to bother about board details, but is handed
those info.
If we need to support other OSs, I think it'd be best to extend
extlinux.conf to allow it to support booting OSs besides Linux.
It is not an OS issue.
FWIW, if extlinux.conf isn't found on the media, this patch does fall
back to searching for boot.scr (a uImage of a U-Boot script) so it's
certainly possible to make custom things happen if you want.
Yes, and the order is wrong in my mind. If anything, it should fallback
to extlinux, but at least use a general boot.scr first. (or
/boot/u-boot.conf
or whatever)

Jeroen
