Thanks.

Manual, it is not that much work, just cp the files over since we are
using pristine kernel files with no u-boot specific mods.

Then git add all of them, and do a commit, in the commit msg editor
look at the list of "new file"'s, add those to the Makefile and then
commit the Makefile as a fixup.

Starting with this sync I also lookup the first kernel commit of any
new dts files (not dtsi files only dts files) and then send a mail
to the committer asking them to submit a matching u-boot defconfig.

Regards,

Hans
