The general push from ARM Ltd is to use UEFI. I would strongly suspect that there are U-Boot forks that companies that have announced they are doing ARMv8 chips have something as a stop-gap until they have the functionality they want in uEFI. I am quite open to ARMv8 support being added to U-Boot and addressing the concerns companies may have. Sometimes it seems like "GPLv2+" makes people think "Project will be moving to GPLv3, RUN AWAY!" when all it really means is "Project is GPLv2+, will evaluate the appropriateness of later versions". -- Tom
