That doesn't seem so different from the linux kernel modules that require non-free firmware... while not thrilled about it, I don't see it as a blocker for inclusion in debian's u-boot package.

It might be worth moving it into a subarch package, though that could get it held up in NEW... it looks to be an "exynos" based platform? There are a couple other likely exynos candidates in mainline u-boot if someone shows up willing to test them. live well, vagrant
