Since there is consensus building in the U-Boot community to use DT
rebasing subtree, I would suggest you rebase your work on top of [1].
You can take an amlogic SoC patch [2] as a reference and see
corresponding value-add. I don't see the point of unnecessary churn if
there is consensus we agree upon.

The value being all these DT import patches won't be needed with DT rebasing.
