Mainline U-Boot with SPI, NVMe and SATA boot support

[sigmaris]

Hi, could you or someone resolve this "Booting using fdtblob at 0x1f0000000" somehow?
I got the same with latest Armbian_21.02.3_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.10.21.img.xz and U-Boot 2020.10-07966-ge34a1785a0 (Nov 17 2020 - 19:32:18 +0000))

Code:

I think you're encountering the same problem, where U-Boot starting USB before boot will cause booting the kernel to hang.

I noticed that Debian has disabled starting USB in U-Boot preboot (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepor...bug=973323), I haven't seen this problem on my RockPro64 board but enough other people have reported issues with USB that I decided to make another release, updating to be based on v2021.01, with starting USB disabled in preboot: https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot/relea...ckpro64-ci

Try that and see if it fixes the issue (though it will sacrifice the use of USB keyboard in U-Boot).
