I have applied all the patches bumping U-Boot/Linux, I hope that you
were able to test them on real hardware. Make sure to monitor the next
Gitlab CI build results to see if there's any new build failure.

However, for the two patches enabling NEON as the FPU, I marked them as
rejected. Indeed, using NEON as the FPU is not always a good idea, as
it explained in the Config.in.help text:

          This option allows to use the NEON SIMD unit, as available
          in some ARMv7 processors, as a floating-point unit. It
          should however be noted that using NEON for floating point
          operations doesn't provide a complete compatibility with the
          IEEE 754.

Best regards,

Thomas Petazzoni
