[Arm-dev] Consider updating uboot-tools

Hello list (maintainer of uboot-tools),

I'd like to bring a nice enhancement of u-boot to you attention;
looks like with commit (1) u-boot will call the efi boot manager before falling back to the default removable-media location:
EFI/BOOT on the (fat32) efi partition

If I understand correctly this would take care of the fedora-path patch issue still carried in CentOS u-boot.
As a matter of fact fedora dropped the uefi-use-Fedora-specific-path-name.patch (2)

As per subject: IMHO this is a extra incentive to update the fairly old uboot-tools :)
