Why?  Because it was merged to master after the freeze.

Personally I'm of the opinion that u-boot is one of those special recipes
that if an upgrade appears just after freeze, we consider it.  If we don't
keep it up to date BSPs won't use the recipe, and we'll be back to every
BSP layer containing its own special copy of the u-boot recipe.
