These patches are required for Ubuntu Core, which makes them specific to our OS. The chances of these patches being accepted upstream are slim.
Further, if we are to build gadget snaps from u-boot deb's from LP, should we have a branch or flavour for u-boot package in each series (Xenial, Bionic, etc) where these common patches which add support for Ubuntu Core can be applied without affecting upstream imports?
