IIRC U-Boot as a whole is GPL licensed, which means that any binaries shipped inside would also need to be GPL compatibly licensed which again means that the source code (and build instructions?) for this .efi file would need to be part of the tree, no?
Yeah, I'm not super comfortable with this.
Do you think we should drop these binary patches? I could always put the binaries somewhere along with instructions on how to get them.
I think that's the best option, yes. You can always just add a url to the readme to point people into the right direction.
I do think it is useful to be able to test the platform though.
I don't disagree, but I would argue that for the average u-boot user it brings no additional value ;). And people like you who know how to enable a new architecture probably also know how to get a file into their target's memory.
