Yes.

Right, at least not in U-Boot. All hardware specific initialisation is done in 
this board specific 
code. So our OS can access the peripheral without knowing anything about a 
"SMC", "EBI1" and 
so on. On some of our boards we use a couple of different OS - not only Linux - 
especially in
this case on MEESC. And it's a lot of work to add low level hardware setup in 
every OS' BSP.
That's why U-Boot's board specific code is a good place for this.

What kind of README do you think of? The comments are totally clear and of 
course the 
best place for this kind of documentation. There is no need to add this stuff to
any other board.

I think there are other things that need to be discussed. Let's say a hyper 
generic way to
control LEDs :-)
