I'd like this patch series to be applied ASAP (probably before DTBO
patches you mention are merged). It's been too long as it is. Once
merged and we are unblocked w.r.t. Android boot stuff, we can then
look into DTBO changes you mention, and if any C API are changed, we
can change those usage overall the U-Boot tree. Hope you agree. I will
help you guys to figure out all DTBO related changes further, but
please let's get this patch series over with...

Thanks!
