This is not relevant, because Linux doesn't use this "checkstop" 
trick. It directly just jumps to U-Boot warm-reboot entry point.

Which is a bad design desicion, IMHO. If you want to reset  a  board,
you  should  really  RESET  it  (and  give all attached peripherals a
chance to get reset, too), instead of just assuming everything is  in
good shape an it's sufficient to just jump into some boot loader code
again.

Sure, but tell me then, _WHY_ U-Boot has this warm-reboot entry?

IMHO, Motorola should have implemented normal reset facility, which 
doesn't require any tricks.
