[Bug 2072490] Re: [needs-packaging] U-Boot for Microchip PIC64GX

[Dave Jones]

It looks like Steve's comments are addressed by the current PPA version
(and I'll make a note to check that MCD_tasks.c disappears in the
forthcoming merge of u-boot main!). I do note there's a few lintian
errors / warnings to clean up. Most are trivial and I'm happy to just
deal with them myself while sponsoring, specifically:

E: u-boot-pic64gx source: build-depends-indep-without-arch-indep

This is because, now the u-boot-pic64gx package is riscv64 only, there
are no arch-indep packages left. Trivial fix: make gcc-riscv64-linux-gnu
part of build-depends instead.

W: u-boot-pic64gx source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2.0 [debian/copyright:126]
W: u-boot-pic64gx source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2.0+ [debian/copyright:119]

Here the lines in d/copyright refer to GPL-2.0 instead of GPL-2 and
GPL-2.0+ instead of GPL-2+. Trivial fix: delete .0 in each case

W: u-boot-pic64gx source: patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series
[debian/patches/riscv-update-PIC64GX-model-property.patch]

This one I need a bit of guidance on. I *think* this patch is not meant
to be there; if I add it to d/p/series it complains about a
reversed/already applied patch so I'm guessing this patch was in an
earlier bit of packaging, but was then applied upstream and so removed
from d/p/series, but the patch itself didn't get removed from the
directory? If so, I'm happy to just remove it while sponsoring.

Title:
  [needs-packaging] U-Boot for Microchip PIC64GX

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  We want to support the upcoming Microchip PIC64GX board. Unfortunately
  upstreaming of U-Boot has not started yet. Due to the number of
  differences between our U-Boot 2024.01 and the vendor U-Boot it is not
  trivial to add board support to our existing U-Boot. The best interim
  solution is packaging the vendor U-Boot. Once upstreaming has occurred
  we can sun-set the vendor U-Boot package and replace it by the u-boot-
  microchip package.
