The current u-boot-sunxi is completely un-rebasable as far as I can tell.
Like discussed with Hans, I'd suggest you submit a bare minimal machine
upstream
so there's some starting point and add the remaining bits later on. You might
also end up re-engineering the fundamentals of the sunxi port, which seem to be
rotting a little (all those custom linker scripts, custom base addresses that
might be unified, weird position of the stack etc).
THanks!
