[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/2] board: sunxi: sun8i-v40: Add Bananapi M2 Berry support

[Alan Beard]

Hi Maxine and team,

I want to run Fedora linux, from here:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Spins/armhfp
/images/

on the Banana Pi BPI-M2 Berry. (works fine on a Banana Pi original)

I've waited six months for the patches to filter through to the Fedora team 
but, so far nothing.

I've downloaded the code from the denx.de website but I cannot see a way to
just generate the u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin file for the Berry.
There is a u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin file in the Fedora distribution for
the Berry but it doesn't work.
This also doesn't work:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-Mainline-uboot.git
I suspect they check the chip-id and barf if it's not 0x1701 the R40.

I chose the Banana Pi BPI-M2 Berry over the Ultra because I didn't need
the extra ram or other bells and whistles. I want to embed a BPi Berry in
an amateur radio project where I need a board with a SATA port for an SSD.

Keep up the good work.

Alan
