Hi; currently we ship with a u-boot.e500 which is from u-boot v2017.07. It would be nice to move that forward, specifically to at least v2017.11, which contains upstream u-boot's part of the fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1714750 . (There are more recent releases than that; it's just the first that contains the fix.)
Then we could remove the workaround in scripts/make-release and close out the bug. I've cc'd David as the current maintainer of pc-bios/u-boot.e500 and Alex as the last person who did an update. thanks -- PMM
