Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on the copyright file. I've already updated the URLs in d/control in the source repo.

The NXP S32 changes will unfortunately likely never be upstreamed, as there are a number of drivers and features that need proprietary firmware to work, and like you said the diff is pretty huge. Maybe at some point NXP will upstream a bare minimum patchset to get it to work, but at this stage it's unlikely. U-Boot is also responsible for setting up the SERDES lane muxing for Ethernet and PCIe (I'm really not sure why they did it this way and not in Linux...) so there is a lot of complexity and logic that's been added.
