Why would you ever want to compile this into U-Boot at all? Then any changes you need to make mean compiling and installing a new U-Boot, which is something you normally don't want to do. U-Boot is perfectly able to import such settings from text files (or text blobs stored somewhere, even attached to the U-Boot image, if you want), so just use the text files separately, instead of hard compiling them into the code.
