Hi Bin,
Thanks for your suggestion, I already find the root cause.
This patch change the image package and lead to all Rockchip SoCs
with BACK_TO_BROM enabled can not work.

Is it possible to do verify commits for different platform like kernelci for kernel patches in U-Boot?
We do use buildman to verify that things build, and that tests pass on sandbox. But specific boards can still become broken.
Tom has something like this set up and uses it to check the boards he has. I encourage you to set up some boards at your facility and do this!
Indeed, it's time for another reminder about both tbot (which Heiko runs and instance of and maintains) and test/py/test.py + https://github.com/swarren/uboot-test-hooks which is what we use to control qemu targets in travis-ci and real hardware in various labs (Stephen has one for tegra and I know there's a few other private setups) including mine. I don't however have any Rockchip targets, but suggestions of a board that would be a good fit for a lab are welcome (ie easy console and recovery from bad builds).
I can try to setup one although I have no any experience on this, is there a step by step document I can learn from?
Not exactly, but there's READMEs for it all.
For kernel, it can use net boot with TFTP, but for U-Boot/SPL, we need to flash the eMMC or SD card, which make it more complicate and I don't have a solution for automatic test.
Is there some recovery method via USB or similar? Does the ROM support reading from say FAT? Having to raw-write to an SD card is still a tricky operation, in a recoverable way.
I may need to verify for different SoCs, for example, I found that the rk3036 build also been broken, the SPL size is too large now(bigger than 4KB), I still don't have time to figure it out.
wrt sizes, you need to start using the existing linker script hooks that make this fail to link :)
