Hi Romain,

Forking U-Boot to update the ps*_init_gpl.[c|h] files would be challenging.
These files are dynamically generated by the FPGA build tool (Vivado) based on
the user's configuration, so will vary both from board to board, and within a
board from design to design.

Is there a recommended technique, given the above?

Best Regards,
