Wow, this is fantastic! I wasn't aware that you had already done so
much work on this. I would love to collaborate.

However, I noticed that your branch contains over 100+ commits with a
diff exceeding 15k+ lines. Attempting to integrate such a massive
amount of code directly into this v2 series would be extremely
difficult and likely overwhelming for the review process.

My current goal with this patch series is to establish a minimal
baseline support for m68k in U-Boot (targeting QEMU 040 first). I think
the best approach would be to get this foundational series merged first
to serve as a minimal base, and I am more than willing to make
adjustments in this series to facilitate the future integration of your
work (000/030 support, Linux bootinfo handling, etc.) incrementally.

What do you think?

Regards,
Kuan-Wei
