I see now that this barely missed the M3 freeze.
barebox releases are monthly, but we were intending to provide long term
support for v2026.04.0, so it would be great if this could make it in.

The majority of new commits in this release are bugfixes[1] and even the
highlighted feature resolves a boot-time breakage for barebox when
compiled as EFI app.

Thanks!
