Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.104
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
As boards using the riscv64 architecture can be booted from U-Boot via
the booti command like arm64 boards we should start adding these to the
package.
The three appended patches
* add a bootscr.uboot-generic script for riscv64
* provide the database entry for the SiFive Unmatched board
* enable building on riscv64
The main benefit of the package I see is that when booting via GRUB it
can be used to supply the newest device-tree before launching GRUB via
the preboot hook.
Best regards

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] debian/control: enable building for riscv64
riscv64 boards use device-trees. So we should provide the flash-kernel
package for them.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] db/all.db: add SiFive HiFive Unmatched A00
Add the SiFive HiFive Unmatched board to the database.
Ubuntu uses the 'generic' flavor while Debian uses 'riscv64'.
Add both to the database.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] riscv64: add bootscr.uboot-generic
riscv64 uses booti not bootz. So we have to add a separate
bootscr.uboot-generic.
