you're absolutely right, and I have a local copy of that same
idea.<br>
WRT your patches, I have some nitpicks. I think the generated
srpm should be the same in both CentOS and Fedora, which could
be solved by including "the other one" as a source<br>
If you'd like take on the task of getting this upstreamed to
Fedora, you'd be helping me "a lot", if not, just know that it
is in my to-do list <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span>:-)</span></span><br>

First of all congratulations and thanks for the latest 7.7 release; updated several systems without issues!
As mentioned in an other conversation it is the logical continuation of 7.6-updates nevertheless found some nice surprises in the armhfp and especially aarch64 extras repository's including updated u-boot images
This being said it saddens me to see in the source file of the uboot-tools-2019.07-3 they still carry a Fedora specific patch. While it is not a difficult fix the get centosisms in. Especially since the upstream maintainer (intentionally?) reverted the order of first two distro specific patches. (This makes a clean patch possible without patching the patch.)
I know it is not a encouraged to boot aarch64 on our SBC's, nor is it my objective to promote this.
But an easy route I use for over an year is though uboot-uefi boot > grub2.
And have to say I like it a lot, with an (serial)monitor attracted you can choose the kernel in grub2;
or partion you want to boot (if you happen to feel to be inclined to have a multiboot-environment)
after re-basing to uboot-tools-2019.07-3

these two patches do the job for me:
