[U-Boot] arm64: a37xx: add distro boot compability

[Andre Heider]

Hi,

this small set improves the usability to ease booting distro shipped
kernels. Tested on espressobin with debian's flash-kernel. I could
successfully boot from usb.

Thanks,
Andre

[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/4] arm64: a37xx: add distro compatible env vars

[Andre Heider]

the values of dt_addr_r/kernel_addr_r/ramdisk_addr_r are taken from
the downstream 'u-boot-2017.03-armada-17.10' release.

the chosen values of scriptaddr and pxefile_addr_r are below fdt_addr_r,
in 1MB steps.

Alright, thanks! I just wanted to make sure this isn't falling through

No problem. Checking for the status is always possible. My current
plan is to push this patch (and other pending Marvell patches) after
this upcoming release, as Tom wanted to be a bit more strict with
only accepting bug fixes after rc1.

Thanks,
Stefan

Thanks for the reviews, Konstantin!

For the record, I wasn't aiming at this release, next is just fine.

While having the attention of both of you:
Downstream has diverged quite a bit compared to upstream, is there any 
ongoing work to upstream the missing bits?

Konstantin, since the discrepancy got pretty big I guess most users are 
currently using a downstream release. Is there any chance to get this 
set in there? I already got these patches against that tree if it helps.

Thanks,
Andre

[Konstantin Porotchkin] I need to understand the terminology first :-)
The upstream is the DENX release and the downstream is Marvell's 2017.03?

[Konstantin Porotchkin] If my assumption above is right, you are asking when we are planning to sync with the current mainline, right?
Unfortunately this is out of my control. We are planning to do so as soon as we have time for it, but we got pretty busy supporting new SoC devices at this moment.

Exactly ;)

Alright, and I can see that syncing would be a rather big task.

But instead I was offering the same patches against the Marvell tree, 
without the need for any syncing.

They're now in a pull request I just created on Marvell's public github:
https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/u-boot-marvell/pull/8

Thanks,
Andre

[Konstantin Porotchkin] Thank you, I hope that I or Igal (in CC list) will have some time shortly for merging your changes into our GIT.

[Konstantin Porotchkin] I pushed them internally to the current development branch, so once they passed the CI test, internal review and get merged, they will be available inside of the next u-boot release.
