Thank-you for contacting us. Upstream work should definitely be collaborative.

See this for the latest work on jz4780 and jz4740.

https://github.com/paulburton/linux/tree/wip-ci20-v4.1

Our focus is on jz4780 and MIPS Creator CI20 support upstream.

We are working on jz4740 for maintaining compatibility.

I don't know about the differences between jz4730 and jz4740.

If they are little, then it shouldn't be too difficult 
to add another device tree file for jz4730.

And I have cc'ed Paul Burton in this email as well as he is working on them.

Regards,
