Hi Aaron,

While mainline U-Boot does not support Octeon, we have our own fork of it that I maintain. I am using the 2018.07 release with only a few minor changes around the periphery to support the older version of U-Boot Octeon is based off of.
Just out of interest is there any particular barrier to Octeon support landing upstream? At $dayjob we have 4 platforms using various Octeon III processors. We're in the position of being stuck on an older version of u-boot because we can't bring support for our boards up to date without having to bring all the Octeon SoC support forward as well. Is there any interest from Cavium to get Octeon upstreamed?
