Glad to hear it!

However, can we keep the Platform/Ampere/Readme.md aligned with what
is currentlt merged in edk2-platforms?
I have given some feedback on that file directly, but I think given
the above statement it would be more appropriate to start with a very
small document describing that upstreaming is in progress, and a link
to
https://github.com/AmpereComputing/edk2-platforms/blob/ampere/Platform/Ampere/Readme.md
.

Best Regards,

Leif
