I don't think this is a big deal but this patch would be a bit easier to
skim over if you move the (unmodified?) import of the Linux
apq8016-schneider-hmibsc.dts to a separate patch with a clear note in
the commit message

 - where it comes from (link to Linux patch), and
 - that it can be removed again with a future update of the upstream DTs
   in U-Boot (once it is applied upstream at least).

You kind of have that information in the cover letter but I think it
would be good to have it in the commit message.

The "text-based environment" [1] is preferred nowadays, i.e. defining
these inside board/schneider/hmibsc/hmibsc.env instead (similar to how
DB410c has its environment defined in
board/qualcomm/dragonboard410c/dragonboard410c.env). This should also
avoid all the crazy escaping to encode it as C string. :D

However, I suspect that right now it would attempt to load this file
from board/qualcomm/hmibsc/hmibsc.env since you do not seem to have
CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR set correctly. It looks like Caleb removed the option
to customize CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR in commit 059d526af312 ("mach-snapdragon:
generalise board support"). It might be easiest to add a prompt in
arch/arm/mach-snapdragon/Kconfig to allow changing it (similar to
CONFIG_SYS_BOARD).

Thanks,
Stephan
