SeaBIOS update on master?

SeaBIOS update on master?

[Jan Beulich]

Ian,

I notice there is 1.7.5.2 available upstream - are there plans for us
to update, or are we going to wait for 1.7.6 or 1.8 or whatever is
going to be next? (I ask without having checked whether there are
any fixes that would specifically concern us.)

Jan

Thanks for the reminder.

Normally want to track their releases during the dev cycle (when I
remember) but a new release is imminent, so I think rather than bumping
twice I may as well wait for it (whatever version it ends up being).

I haven't looked for specific fixes either.

Ian.

1.8.0 has just been released[0]. osstest flight 34755 is currently
testing rel-1.8.0~4 which is one new commit over the current tested
baseline, but that commit and all the ones between it and rel-1.8.0 are
ones which don't affect the actual functionality (most are docs, one is
against the checkstack.pl tool and doesn't seem relevant since we aren't
hitting the underlying issue).

So I think we are good to update, see patch below.

Ian.
