This would be in an ideal world. In the real world each vendor like
hardkernel or wetek is maintaining their own kernel tree derived from
Amlogic.

Amlogic itself maintains a buildroot based BSP for their
boards. My Idea was at least merging u-Boot and Kernel of both vendors
into one tree.

Yes this is the way to go, the manufacturer maintains its own layer. I
can try to get in contact with Amlogic if they are interested in
creating such a layer or at least supporting it.
