Sorry for the confusion. IIRC somebody from #linux-sunxi had
mentioned that they had a build of mainline u-boot working on the
CC-A80, so I added the flash-kernel machine stanza when the
mainline kernel support was available.
Generic A80 support (Clocks, PIO, RSB, UART, MMC) is available in
mainline u-boot since v2015.07, but you are of course right - a
CC-A80-specific config has indeed not yet entered the mainline
u-boot git, so adding the flash-kernel stanza was probably a bit
premature.
Regards,
Karsten
