Ah, many thanks for that! I figured that we need a bootmeth for FEL, but
never got around to have a closer look.
On a coarse glance, this looks roughly OK, and doing a super quick boot
test on one board, it seems to still work(TM), though the priority of the
FEL boot is not right?
And I guess ditching the old kernel support might be a bit controversial.
I think this is about the vendor kernels, which some people still rely on?

I will have a closer look this week and give you a review, just wanted to
acknowledge the series and thank you for your efforts.

Cheers,
Andre
