So, "Google uses it aside", it seems that being able to boot via USB is a useful thing and fastboot is a particular solution; I'm not entirely sure what other USB u-boot extensions exist apart from those
Well, DFU support is a standard solution, and the LF / CELF has just recently assigned resources to adapt the existingout-of-tree port for mainline U-boot.
Perhaps John and the LF /CELF resource could work together so both DFU and fastboot would work?
So Wolfgang, let's assume that Fastboot could coexist with and share code with the DFU implementation. Would that be more acceptable? Or is any effort to get Fastboot into mainline just a waste of time? What additional info is needed to answer that question?
