FYI, the Amlogic P200 dev board also needs this hack with the factory u-boot.

I have meanwhile found that

mkimage -A arm64 -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x1080000 -e 0x1080000 \
-n linux-next -d arch/arm64/boot/Image ../uImage

and then using bootm instead of booti works even without the above hack
on the Vega S95. Not a satisfactory solution yet, but better than
patching the kernel in a distro-incompatible way.

Regards,
Andreas

I wonder if we can add this kind of information in Documentation/arm/meson/.
Probably it could be handy until we have a proper u-boot porting.

Thanks for sharing.  I can confirm this is working for me too.
