There are H5 related commits in this fork, although I neither have any H5
hardware nor heard any reports of it working or not.

atf-allwinner, as already shipped in Debian, should work without any other
edits to it.

My guess is that getting appropriate device tree, and handing it to
u-boot-install-sunxi64 has a good chance of being enough. That script
takes /usr/lib/u-boot/pine64_plus/*.dtb -- if you put yours into that
(now misnamed) dir, it may work.
If it does, please let us know!
Meow!
