The laptop keyboard doesn't work yet, so I'm using a USB keyboard when
I'm not using a serial console.  You need the xhci-dwc3 diff I sent
earlier for that:

If you install m1n1.macho without a payload, you can then use the
python scripts that come with m1n1 to upload kernels over serial.
There is a USB gadget implementation in m1n1, so you don't need a real
serial connection.  Just connect a Linux machine to the M1 Mac using a
USB cable and a USB serial device should show up on the Linux machine
once m1n1 is running on the Mac.  Set the M1N1DEVICE environment
variable to the right device name and run:

$ python3 linux.py --compression=none u-boot-nodtb.bin t8103-j274.dtb
