  Description     : Pre-built Rockchip bootloader firmware binaries (for 
embedded targets)

This package contains the Rockchip bootloader firmware binaries, primarily
used for targets where no open-source versions is yet released.
The pre-built firmware consists of builds of Arm Trusted Firmware, OP-TEE
and U-Boot. There are also some closed-source tools in this repo, build for
amd64. These will be stripped from the upstream source package as I do
not (yet) see a need for these.

This package is required to build U-Boot for some embedded targets such as
rk3588, rk3566, rk3568. All of these will eventually have open-source
firmware, but it is still useful for new processors in the future where
U-Boot support will be merged long before the initial DRAM bringup and
trusted firmware.

I expect this package will go into non-free-firmware.

If anyone rejects having this kind of package in Debian, please do reply
to this message. I don't have any immediate plans to package this.
