2019.04 is still old to sustain with backports, e.g. files in common/
were moved around in upstream u-boot.

Looks like much of Aspeed stuff (other than ast2400 and spi driver) has
been upstreamed already. When can openbmc switch to modern upstream tag,
say v2022.07 and stage anything not upstream on top of it in u-boot
mirror?
