Right.

Understood. As first draft, we can start exactly with the same files. I
do not know now if we will remain in sync with kernel. In the last
U-boot mini summit, we had a discussion on this point, and it is hard to
foresee if U-Boot and kernel will share the same dts or if it will be
required to diverge. But I understand the point, and we can start in
sync, and see later if we really need a different file for U-Boot.

Best regards,
