Thank you for the update.

I could take the new version and manually do the build for the board. 
But I wonder, what would be the Yocto way to request this version of 
U-Boot in my build? I mean, what exactly would I need to include in, 
say, my local.conf file, to get the new version automatically downloaded 
and compiled?

Thanks,
