Are you sure it is our source package and not the upstream which
contains this?

I don't see a Debian patch which adds this stuff.

I think a better approach here would be to work with the upstream u-boot
project to make things more portable -- perhaps by replacing the use of
linux/types.h (which is surely just a convenience for them) with
something in the u-boot source itself.

Wait -- the uboot upstream source already contains
include/linux/types.h, so perhaps upstream just needs to increase the
set of things which they supply themselves.
