Hi,

Some bootloaders (like U-boot) support several HW devices: serial, network, 
NAND, USB, etc. most of which are also supported by Linux.

So the question is: is code shared? I mean, I understand that the drivers need 
to talk to the appropriate API, and such API could be different between Linux 
and U-boot.
But putting that aside, would it be naive to imagine that some "core" 
functionality could be shared? Or would that part be so small it is not worth 
the effort?

Since many companies use both, U-boot and Linux, I would figure they try their 
best to optimize engineering resources and share code, right?
In that case, I also wonder how do they share DT descriptions that right now 
are being stored in the Linux kernel tree.

We'd like to share code/DT for obvious reasons, what would you guys suggest?

Best regards,

Sebastian
