Hello all,

My first post here. Is there someone willing to mentor me to submit my first patch ?

The patch is the following 3 commits:
https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/compare/master...MartinHerren:u-boot:set_default_sys_bootm_len_for_riscv

It adjusts the SYS_BOOTM_LEN for RISCV to the most commonly used value.

For context, working on rebasing the Allwinner D1 branch on some u-boot fork to up-to-date U-Boot I saw that the strange way in which SYS_BOOTM_LEN was patched in Yocto's meta-riscv layer was not working anymore, so I tried a clean fix and thought an adjustment of the SYS_BOOTM_LEN's default for riscv might make sense.

So if anyone is willing to mentor me in submitting this patch this would be welcome !
It is mostly the patman part that is still a big unknown for me and i'm afraid of spamming far too many people trying by myself otherwise.

Or does this patch not make sense at all ?

Thanks !

Martin
