I have no strong opinion on this, maybe arch/powerpc/boot/85xx or
something. Although we may require having U-Boot tree somewhere I
don't particularly like this solution, it's better to keep kernel
self-contained, even if it requires some duplication. I personally
don't see this as an issue, because I assume this file isn't gonna
change frequently anyway.
Also, I think it's much safer to have this file in the kernel, this
way we will avoid potential problems with using different U-Boot
versions with different versions.

If we go with "we-need-U-Boot-tree" solution, we can add Kconfig
option to specify path to U-Boot tree.

Yes, there should be an option, for boards which can support old and
new U-Boot it should be user-selectable with old U-Boot being
a default. For boards which support only one type of U-Boot, this
option can be selected automatically.

Yeah, probably.
