Hi all,

I am happy to announce barebox-2023.05.0. This release brings us an
overhaul of the USB gadget framework. This is now much better in sync
with current Linux: The core is updated and files are now where Linux
has them as well. Furthermore the DWC3 driver is synced with the Kernel.

The Kconfig selection for 32/64 bit barebox has been improved. Now we
can first select whether a 32 bit or 64 bit barebox shall be built, and
then all SoCs/boards can be selected for that architecture. Previously
it was easy enough to select 32 bit boards on a 64 bit build and vice
versa, leading to compiler errors.

The MMC stack now has support for eMMC DDR52 mode when the controller
driver supports this. Support for that mode for now is implemented only
in the i.MX ESDHC controller, but if you are interested in faster eMMC
modes have a look at the patches. Unlike other higher speed modes the
DDR52 doesn't require tuning, so is relatively easy to implement.

Thanks to Marco the i.MX8M now supports booting from QSPI. This includes
generating the images as well as support for the barebox-update command.

Last not least we have support for a new Rockchip board, the Radxa CM3
board which comes with a RK3566 SoC.

See below for a full list of changes that went into this release.

Have Fun!

  Sascha
