So, we're at -rc2 for v2020.07. The DDR calculation stuff I can see getting pulled in. Is the ethernet driver for this SoC so far from done that it's not ready for linux-next? Things don't have to be in mainline proper, but the expectation is that it's making reasonable progress there and been reviewed so that binding changes between what we take in U-Boot at first and a final re-sync once it is in mainline are minimal. -- Tom
