The point is that you collect Zynq-specific patches in your own place by yourself
and then send a pull-req to Albert or Tom, right?

It does not matter whether it is a separate u-boot-zynq repo or
u-boot-microbraze/zynq branch.

I have sent the first series to add the core support of Panasonic SoCs
and boards (but it is taking much longer than I have expected)
and then I am planning to send more features and boards in the next phase.

What's the difference between what I want to do for Panasonic SoCs
and what you usually do for Zynq SoCs?
