 I would prefer that we fix the u-boot port using 2019.07
 I've never looked to what was the problem but if you have a board
could you test building after applying this patch to the u-boot source
tree :

diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.spl b/scripts/Makefile.spl
index 7af6b120b6..34e74506e3 100644
--- a/scripts/Makefile.spl
+++ b/scripts/Makefile.spl

 spl/boot.bin: $(obj)/$(SPL_BIN)-align.bin FORCE
        $(call if_changed,mkimage)

 It might not work at all, I have no idea what cbs means for dd and
failed to understand with the man page.
