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

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-fes... 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.

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/23013aa9619881290dbeb6217f1fab...
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.
Thanks!

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!
