Well, technically of course this works, but it is far from perfect.
It works only for those who actually know about this. But anybody
looking at the U-Boot site for any zynq related stuff will have hard
times to find it.

I think it is much better to make this knowledge public information -
and one easy way to do this is to have a separate repository for it,
which is listed on the custodians page, so everybody looking for it
will find all relevant information.

Well, they maintain the stuff at rocketboards.org ; there are efforts
on the way to mainline stuff, but the process is not exactly
satisfactory. I highly appreciate that Marek volunteers to put
efforts in this.

As far as I am concerned, I support both Marek's and Masahiro's
requests.

@ Marek and Masahiro: if we reach an agreement to create such repos,
please send me your SSH public keys that shall be used for
these. Also, what should the names be - u-boot-socfpga ?
And u-boot-uniphier ? [But is there not a chance that Pana-
sonic might have other SoCs that might be mainlines? So
maybe we should use u-boot-panasonic instead?]

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
