Mark, you're absolutely right, and I have a local copy of that same idea. 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 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 :-)

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 ( https://github.com/markVnl/rpms-uboot-tools/compare/centos...el7 ) these two patches do the job for me:
