Another option is to include that git submodule into the U-Boot project,
this needs
to revert the commit of introducing the library and redo the git subtree
after the
submodule is updated, but it does not seem to be a good choice as we don't
use
that test framework in U-Boot at all.
Right now I don't have a perfect solution, maybe we can accept using git
commit
without the '.'?
