No problem at all. I fully understand you want to keep meta-rockchip 
clean, and it looks very clean compared to other layers).

This being said, having a board in a community layer like ours is a way 
to share code and foster collaboration, all the more as OE/Yocto can 
help people focus on userspace aspects while keeping the early boot 
details transparent.  It's a bit frustrating to have to wait for 2 more 
months, but its not blocking either.
Thanks for your review!
Cheers
Michael.
