What's the state of u-boot v2023.10 for ASPEED SoCs?

[Tan Siewert]

We've been working on bringing some of our systems to OpenBMC, but the 
MAC address is stored in an EEPROM rather than being branded somewhere else.
In Linux, we're using `nvmem-cells` to reference the EEPROM and the 
offset for the `mac-address` cell via the device tree.
Unfortunately, the nvmem API in U-Boot was introduced in v2022.10, and 
we are still on v2019.04.

The commit chain required to backport this feature appears to be quite 
big, and to be honest, I'm not sure if it makes sense to backport such 
non-trivial changes that don’t fix existing issues but rather introduce 
new functionality.

So my question is: what’s the current state of the v2023.10 branch? Is 
it still a work in progress, or is it in a state where it could be 
tested on non-AST2700 SoCs and possibly submitted to openbmc/u-boot?
