Go to try and debug someone's boot issue, have to recompile the boards firmware to run a mainline kernel, which effectively meant recompiling U-Boot too. Vendor U-Boot seems to need a customer compiler, that's the end of me caring about helping with that.

As an SoC vendor, you *have* to do better providing 2+ year old firmware in your SDK that is incompatible with running something other than your ancient, hacked up vendor kernel.

@esmil Same as the U-Boot and OpenSBI then. The board vendor's trees are much better, they imported the tarball as a commit on top of the relevant U-Boot release, rather than use tarball-import vendor stuff.

@dickon @pdp7 @esmil Only reason it wasn't is because there weren't usable kernels old enough to be like this :)
