So I should make
- sync updated firmware for support RPI4
- kernel.img/kernel7.img contains bwfm0 and firmware
- kernel for RPI4  -- waiting for merge or fetch current test kernel

and test
- earmv6hf  image for RPI/RPI2/RPI3
- earmv7hf  image for RPI2/RPI3
- aarch64   image for RPI3/RPI4, packages tested on pinebook

many thanx for clarify.
