Bin Meng is trying to get u-boot SPL working on the StarFive JH7100 SoC and
that could replace ddrinit.  Although I am not sure exactly when that goal
will be accomplished.

StarFive will fix the 'l' typo in the ddrinit repo if I ask them to, but
they probably would not get that done until Monday or Tuesday.  It seemed
like from your previous email it would be best to avoid that churn of
renaming the repository as the patch already went into buildroot.

I am happy to do whatever is best for buildroot and also Khem's meta-riscv
OE layer.

Thank you,
Drew
