As already expressed privately: I dislike being dependent on the
exemplary BSPs that are (not) maintained in Isar upstream. Plus, that
brings in conflicts (hikey.conf). Better build up a fresher version of
the BSP based on U-Boot 2025.07 (due to SD-card discontinuation) but
without legacy jh7110-u-boot-spl-tool. I shared that code base.

Maybe split your patch then as it will definitely become a bit larger.
Step 1 is the board addition, step 2 the tests and CI hook-up.
