Which is
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/cover/[email protected]/#3418939
and an open question to explain the use case more.

It's mainline. The tree at https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot is the
mainline tree for the Das U-Boot project, and I am the maintainer of
that tree and the nominal head of the U-Boot project. If you want to
ignore the feedback you have been given by other people to do whatever
you like, please don't call it U-Boot. It is not "Linaro" disagreeing
with your ideas, it's a number of people. It's most frequently myself
(neither I nor my company get any money from Linaro, nor Arm Ltd),
Heinrich (employed at Canonical, like you) or Ilias (yes, Linaro).

While I am open to, and am exploring how to formally change the project
from the old fashioned "Benevolent Dictator For Life" model to something
that reflects modern project management, Wolfgang passed the project hat
down to me a long time ago. If you don't like my leadership, moving past
the BDFL model and to something else will give you a chance to take the
reigns, so to speak.
