Ideally the process to update a firmware blob is (*):

- Add a CI job (as you did for .gitlab-ci.d/opensbi.yml)
- Commit the submodule new hash including "git shortlog current..new"
  in description
- Run the CI, download the almost-reproducible blob
- Test the blob locally
- Amend to the previous commit the CI blob

Since soft freeze is in 1 week, you might won't have enough time
to add a CI job, so this current patch is acceptable, but please
include the "git shortlog current..new" output.

Regards,

Phil.

(*) Yes we should document this somewhere. Wiki or docs?
