I definitely wouldn't ditch it, as the installation process is greatly
simplified with it. Regarding the dependency of the U-Boot on the device -
I'm not quite sure if this is the way to take, as we originally moved it
from there to the bootloader itself. But maybe Sven can give us a hint how
he stumbled upon this issue ;)

Best wishes
