[U-Boot] [ANN] U-Boot v2019.04 released

Hey all,
So it is release day and despite a few last minute regression fixes, I think I'm overall comfortable doing the release today. Our next release is v2019.07 so we once again have time to stabilize things prior to release and not feel rushed.
With this release, we've hit the deadline for DM_MMC conversion (setting aside SPL/TPL) and SPI (but not SPI_FLASH). What does that mean in practice? Well, in some cases we won't be deleting the compatible code yet as other block devices have their deadline being v2019.07 and you cannot mix-and-match DM and not DM block. That was even a last minute regression fix this time. So on those platforms I am confident that people will be finishing related conversions ASAP. And then, if we don't need the code for SPL/TPL, it can go away. In other cases, where things aren't migrated at all, soon some patches will get posted that will require enabling BROKEN to select non-migrated code paths. This isn't happening right away as I know people are working on finishing things up for migration, and again, that whole other block devices thing too.
I'm mentioning this here as v2019.07 has deadlines for the rest of the block drivers as well as video and PCI and SPI flash, and I want expectations to be set.
So with that, the merge window is open and we're looking at doing the v2019.07 release on July 8th, 2019.
Thanks all!
