So, you mean to drop the patch 0001 and call the zynq-boot-bin.py from
BUILD/INSTALL (?) stage of this package? (I expect the dependency on
uboot will guarantee, it is called after uboot.) The package will get
the path to the uboot's build dir as UBOOT_DIR, is it right?
So host-zynq-boot-bin should depend on uboot and it is up to the user
to select this package to create the boot.bin file automatically
or not. Is that OK?
