[ANN] U-Boot v2021.04-rc4 released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

It's release day, and here's v2021.04-rc4.  Not a whole lot of change
since last time in master, and -next has been and is still open.  I just
want to repeat a few things from -rc3:

- We've moved from "gitlab.denx.de" (and also "git.denx.de") to
  "source.denx.de", please make sure to update your scripts and tools
  and so forth.  If you send me pull requests, now is a good time to
  switch to url/pushurl if you haven't already.
- Once v2021.04 is released I will be pushing a large number of board
  removals for things that will be then 2 years past their "migrate this
  by ... or it might be removed" date which is also around 3 years total
  of notice.

In terms of a changelog, 
git log --merges v2021.04-rc3..v2021.04-rc4
contains what I've pulled but as always, better PR messages and tags
will provide better results here.

I'll be merging -rc4 in to -next shortly and pushing that out as well
once CI completes.

We have one more -rc on March 29th and then release on April 5th.
Thanks all!

FWIW I'm working on updating the lpc32xx platforms (devkit3250 and work_92105)
to DM. Hopefully I'll get that in sooner rather than later :-)

All of the ones I've sent out removal patches for over the last month,
CC'ing the maintainers.  That's basically:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=228850
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=230325
along with I believe I need to v2 dropping some defconfigs for I believe
mx28evk once Stefano picks up Fabio's patch to update and maintain the
main defconfig (he already ack'd such a removal).

Ah okay, just DM_MMC for now, so the lpc32xx boards aren't on the block? yet.

However, I am interested in preserving the olimex board (i.e.
configs/mx23_olinuxino_defconfig). So I could take a look at that one first
unless, Marek, you would like to take a look?

I would emphasize that yet.  v2021.07 is just around the corner and
marks 3 years of DM_USB being a loud "please migrate me".  We're going
to be hitting that milestone every release in 2021.

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20210218233230.506201-2-festevam at gmail.com/
is likely a handy patch to look at for whomever is interested in the
board.

I don't think I have time to do that now, so feel free to dig in.

Hi Trevor,

I have recently converted imx23-evk to DM, so hopefully, the imx23
olinuxino transition will be smooth too:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/commit/23013aa9619881290dbeb6217f1fab863869050e

I don't have the imx23 olinuxino board handy, but let us know if you
face any issues in the DM conversion.

Cheers

Okay, I have the -maxi so I'll get on that conversion.

Fabio: your imx23-evk patch provided an excellent example for me to follow, thanks!

Tom: I have the MMC conversion to DM completed and tested for the Olimex
Olinuxino board. But this board is still missing DM conversions for USB and
ETH. Should I go ahead and send in just the MMC conversion to save it from the
immediate chopping block, or would you rather wait until I've at least had a
chance to look at the USB and ETH conversions in order to send all of them
together in one patch set?

Best regards,
	Trevor

Immediate needs please, thanks.  Due note that USB will have it back on
the chopping block quickly, so to speak :)

If removed board not to suppport DM_MMC, I think that mmc driver can be cleaned more than not.
Great. Thanks!
