New Arch For Mkimage
I am attempting to use mkimage to build a uImage for a new architecture: csky. This architecture is already in the mainline kernel.
It appears the only thing to do is to added a new enumeration after IH_ARCH_RISCV in u-boot/include/image.h and to add a corresponding entry into uimage_arch in u-boot/common/image.c. Is this correct?

Sorry for the delay, include/image.h is also a place you'll want to update.
Hey Tom,
I did that. Did you want me to issue a pull request? I'm not sure of the proper process.

The general answer is that you'll want to submit a series of patches, likely with git send-email, so that nothing gets mangled, that adds csky support. And you should start with a minimal set of functionality and add to it, just like the Linux kernel support was done I assume. If there's QEMU support as well, updating .azure-pipelines.yml and .gitlab-ci.yml (and tools/docker/Dockerfile) to build and test should also be done. Thanks!
