I think so, yes. If you patches add features / enhancements for some
boards and this can be selected on a per-board basis to not affect other
targets then yes, this can be accepted AFAICT.

It would be helpful, if you could add a Kconfig option to selectively
enable "return to BootROM" - disabled per default and enabled for your
targets to this patchset.

Thanks,
