I think the short answere here is that it's not quick to merge in brand
new arch support (it's more than just adding a new SoC family, it's
adding in a new processor family too) but we're on track to have ARMv8
support in the next release.  I would then expect that..

... any nvidia ARMv8 platforms to come in via the u-boot-tegra tree and
other ARMv8 platforms to come in via their respective platforms (if
i.MX9000, which I just made up, is where Freescale does ARMv8, it can
still go via u-boot-imx as far as I'm concerned) unless that custodian
really wants someone else to own it.
