DOYU-san also had quite a lot of new things merged in his arch tree, have
you consolidated with his work in this area also? (I have mirrors of this
if you need a copy of the source). There's still some consolidation that
needs to happen between those and the newer Renesas versions. In the
latter case, we have many ports hanging around that might be of general
interest (ie, Izanagi), even if there's no real push for the part itself.

The other concern is u-boot. We now have the SH7785 work which is somewhat
disjoint from the SH7343 port that was done some time ago, and then ST also
has their ST-40 port. We've also been looking at it for SH7756. This also
needs to be desperately consolidated before we have any _more_
fragmentation. I assume ST will also be open to rebasing their ST-40
stuff on top of generic SH support in u-boot.

Given that, is there really much point in dragging sh-boot along? Perhaps
it's best left in a maintenance-only mode for the existing users, with
the new ports leaning more towards u-boot.
