There are some discrepancies I’m finding in the clocking… If I use the
HiFive_U-Boot as FSBL, it does the following (with some extra debug
code)

U-Boot 2018.09-g8bbdd51-dirty (Jun 18 2019 - 19:46:55 -0700)

DRAM:  2 GiB
MMC:
In:    serial
Out:   serial
Err:   serial
Net:   gem_mdc_clk_div: macb_hz: 500000000
gmac0
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

Where as the close-to-u-boot master version does this:

U-Boot 2019.07-rc4-05661-gc998035-dirty (Jun 18 2019 - 19:51:10 -0700)

CPU:   rv64imafdc
Model: sifive,hifive-unleashed-a00
DRAM:  8 GiB
In:    serial at 10010000
Out:   serial at 10010000
Err:   serial at 10010000
Net:   gem_mdc_clk_div: macb_hz: 933333324

For reference, I’ve checked all my changes into the ‘dev/new-dts’ branch
of github.com/tmagik/freedom-u-sdk, and the ‘make test_s’ target will build
and then copy various files to /var/lib/tftpboot to run the test, and assumes
you have a DHCP and TFTP server running locally.

Another issue with the mainline u-boot is it does not have the OTP driver
that the HiFive_U-Boot version does, so when it selects a random mac
address this causes TFTP to fail in one of my test environments.

FYI, the patch applied is:
