Sorry for the late reply, it hadn't reached my INBOX (please keep me in
CC to ensure it does :-)).

Fixed!

Fixed!

I don't think it matters; the base u-boot package which gets used
doesn't include any "firmware" input, and the file provided via
arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399 is searched via "search-input-file".  I've
grepped for 'assoc-ref.*"firmware"' and there doesn't seem to be any
remnants except for u-boot-rockpro64-rk3399, which I've now fixed in the
last commit.

I think so.  I was puzzled by it too, especially since some packages
already were searching for a .elf file rather than a .bin file.

Answered above.

Thanks for the review!  v3 will appear shortly.
