Hi all,

I am happy to announce barebox-2023.04.0.

We have several interesting changes this time. First of all barebox now
supports building for multiple ARM SoCs in a single config. We now have
a multi_v7_defconfig (for bcm283x, i.MX, Omap, Rockchip, stm32mp and
vexpress) and a multi_v8_defconfig (bcm283x, i.MX, Omap, Rockchip and
zynqmp), more SoCs can be added later.
Furthermore the device tree overlay support can now patch the barebox
live tree, along with prbing additional devices enabled in an overlay.
This can help in cases when a generic board has different runtime
detectable extension boards detected during runtime. This works well for
regular platform devices and also for I2C devices, not so well for SPI
devices currently.
With this release barebox gains NXP Layerscape LS1021A support along
with the LS1021A IOT board support.
Some old boards/architectures have been removed this time. the Samsung
S3C support was removed as all supported boards were really old and
no longer actively maintained. Also the i.MX boards which haven't been
switched to device tree support have been removed, with this i.MX is
now device tree only. For the AT91 architecture all boards have been
moved over to multi image support, which allowed us to get rid of some
defconfig files.

Overall this is one of the bigger barebox releases. See below for a full
list of changes that went into this release.

Have fun!
 Sascha
