But your workflow is somewhat in the downstream direction where it should be on the upstream. sysutils/u-boot-rpi* Is somewhat outdated . U-boot is currently v2020. = 01 , so the direction should be to 1st upgrade sysutils/u-boot to v2020. 01. After that you =E2=80=9Etest" 2020.01 , then if necessary you hack it, = send a patch=20 to fbsd-u-boot, and if that patch would be universal to u-boot , fbsd = will send the=20 patch to u-boot itself( if not yet available there). Or vice versa fbsd will upgrade 2020.01 with a current patch from u-boot = upstream . So the first place where you should look for is the u-boot upstream. The reason for that is that if we all hack our own versions we will = completely=20 out of sync.=20 AFAIK =E2=80=9Amanu' ( e.g. https://reviews.freebsd.org/D23592 ) is = responsible=20 for syncing upstreams, I would recommend you to contact him to ask where = and when he wants to go with u-boot and the DTBs and so on. I hope this helps a little to send your work to the right addresses=E2=80=A6= If you do sync your work with the upstream you absolutely have the right = to claim your "long term fix=E2=80=9C . ;-) Regards Klaus=
