F21 Self Contained Change: Allwinner sunxi (A10 / A13 / A20) ARM SoC support

[Jon]

Does the u-boot piece require a new package or sub package of existing
u-boot we already have? Just curious.

Suppose I'm asking if the sunxi support is upstream in denx?

Looking forward to this feature. :-D

Thanks
