I believe "upstream" is the word you're looking for.

Why?  Unless the BSP u-boots do something insane, I think we should try
to have the upstream kernel boot on the u-boot that comes on the board
(it's not nice to require users to reflash unnecessarily).

That said, the device tree should come from u-boot, not from the kernel.
