Reason has not changed in 4+ months since the last attempt to shove this
patch through without technical merit. Please participate instead of
being like however this is toward me, I would greatly value your
analysis if you would just attempt to do so as Hal and myself have done.
It is unfortunate I find discrepancies in Hal's description that plainly
does not match what I find in the actual hardware. We should do some of
the work here not relying on Hal, and especially not relying on myself
(I'm not a career programmer obviously). Will you find time to
participate in review of the StarFive loader code and features that are
purported to be so desired for U-Boot compatibility?
