This seems like the main blocker at this point; I am hoping to upload at least 2024.01-rc6 to experimental shortly (and 2024.01 to unstable once it releases), and it would be nice to include a u-boot variant supporting these boards, but I am nervous about shipping patches. As you pointed out an unpatched version with asashi in the name might not be appreciated... but ... uh, er. Hrm. I would really like to get this in! live well, vagrant
