Igor, many thanks for the recent replies.

WRT preserving the contents of the original bootloader_message.h from
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bootable/recovery.git/ , I
wonder what's the chance of keeping the CPP comments in place when
importing the file in-tree, since it will make the diffs and subsequent
integration/updates easier from the source repository. Furthermore, we
don't expect any U-Boot specific development to be done in this file
in-tree. It should purely reflect the upstream state.

I wonder if there is any official position regarding that from the
U-Boot maintainers?

FTR/FWIW, there are around 24 .c/.h files in U-Boot master, carrying CPP
comments (SDPX identifiers carefully excluded):

$ git grep "^\s*//\s" -- "*.c" "*.h" | grep -v "SPDX" | awk '{print $1}' | sort -u | cut -d ':' -f 1
