Comment 16 for bug 1831942

After some discussion with Andy, I will be releasing these SRUs much earlier conditionally. This is a special case and should not be treated as a general rule.

The bits from this SRU, especially for xenial, are required for a close-deadline project. The changes are isolated to the u-boot-tools package only, so the risk of breaking user systems is low. The change itself is (for most series) a config option change only - although even that can cause regressions, the risk is relatively low. I have checked the u-boot-tools reverse dependencies of their use of mkimage/dumpimage and assessed that the impact of any discovered regressions should be low as well. For xenial, as there was a bit more tweaking there, I also did a few non-FIT-related mkimage and dumpimage test runs to make sure the xenial-proposed version still works.

Let's get this released and keep a look-out for any reported regressions, reverting quickly to the previous version in case anything critical is found.
