You have the source code of the switch driver software? And it comes with a GPL compatible license? > Questions: > 1.) Which design is recommended, first or the second?

I would conside the switch driver code to be driver code like any othr, i. e. it should go into the drivers/ directory and then be linked with U-Boot like any other U-Boot code. > 2.)

Don't play any tricks with modifying the linker command line. Just add your driver code like any other driver to the source tree and let the exsiting Makefiles do the rest.
