And you bring another issue :-) U-Boot DTS files for 64-bit Armada SoCs (expects 3720) differs from kernel DTS files. They are incompatible and nobody fixed this issue yet. I fixed it only for 64-bit Armada 3720 as we are using and maintaining Armada 3720 boards.
Yes, I am aware of this.
So I just do not know what to do with remaining 64-bit A7040/A8040/CN9030 SoCs. I just added simple harmless change which do not change behavior nor output of those boards.
Either somebody has to start working on fixing U-Boot support and DTS files for those boards to be compatible with Linux kernel. Or those SoCs stays incompatible with Linux and their technical debt in U-Boot code just grow. Or you as maintainer can decide that they are unmaintained (and ready for removal?).
I'm just not going to do this big cleanup for A7040/A8040/CN9030 SoCs too.
Understood. Let's keep the situation in this unfortunate state a while longer. Hopefully someone will find the time to work on this. If nothing changes in a longer period we should think again about this.
Ok!
