git patch file of port.

Port of u-boot for the Digilent Arty Z7 which is a Xilinx Zynq based board.
This builds cleanly on my 13.0 stock system and the resulting binaries
boot my board through to a kernel.

Don't know if this should be a new bug or a follow on to 254004

Forgive me but this is really my first time try to contribute something.
This is what I have building.  If there are patches that you think are unnecessary I'm happy to hear of them and test that out.  But this is what I have now that's working well and allows me to go on to designing hardware.

I really don't like having patches in u-boot ports.
It always makes upgrading a pain.
So I suggest you first start to upstream them.

Thanks.

Updated path

I don't know if I'm doing this right, but I've attached a patch the adds
support for the Diligent Arty Z7-20 board.  With this I am able to build
boot FreeBSD 13.1 on my board.

In response to previous entries: upstream isn't interested in supporting
older boards.

I'm happy to take feedback try and improve this patch.
