Sounds reasonable - at this stage I don't think we have any choice as it is
too late for this code to have a decent test period. There is also the FIT
image code refactor and test, that sits on top of those. It's quite painful
to rebase though so I would appreciate it if could be considered early in
the next cycle.

Given the interest in the TPM code, it would be good if we could bring in
the pending TPM patches to this release so that U-Boot has everything up to
date on that. For example the sboot code you pointed me to makes quite
heavily use of the TPM and the 'tpm' command and associated that Che-Liang
wrote would be useful here. If you are happy to bring that in for this
release I will go through and create a bundle for it, and test it on snow.

I also plan to send you a patman/buildman pull, plus get the the cros_ec
series picked up.

Will do.
