Hi,
I'm using meta-arm-bsp for providing BSP support for corstone700
(mps3/fvp) and a5ds, and noticed that quite a few u-boot specific
patches are still pending to be sent upstream.
This was already the case with the previous ARM bsp layer (before
meta-arm), so I wonder if there is any push for landing those in
u-boot itself, instead of maintaining as part of the bsp layer.
Looking at the u-boot mailing list, most were not yet submitted. Do we
know if the direction here is to keep them as part of this layer or if
there is anyone actively working on upstreaming those at ARM?
This is mostly to guide me on the best way to maintain compatibility
with those as I move to newer u-boot releases.
Thanks!

meta-arm's long term goal is to have everything upstreamable to be
upstream (u-boot, kernel, tf-a, etc). Unfortunately, this was not
feasabile in the gatesgarth timeframe. So, we made "Upstream-Status"
a requirement for all patches in this layer. This way we can track
the status and it helps encourage the BSP machine owners to upstream
things. In the hardknott release, we will be pushing harder for all
things to be upstreamed.
To answer your question, there should be people who are working on
meta-arm upstreaming those patches, and it should be happening
soon(ish). Please feel free to hold us accountable to this, as it is
something that is very important.
Thanks,
Jon
