[ANN] U-Boot v2026.10-rc1 released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

So it's release day and I have tagged and pushed things out. Looking at
my own queue, I think it's in reasonable shape. I do know we just had a
regression reported on some TI K3 platforms today and that will need to
be fixed, and I am also expecting a few more PRs soon.

We're continuing with a community meeting following the release and the
calendar link is

and once again this is the same time as the previous meeting. The
meeting details itself are:

In terms of a rough changelog:
- We're on v6.17-dts for upstream device trees/bindings. The v6.18-dts
  tag will be too late for our release cycle so I expect people to be
  using the cherry-pick method to bring in dts changes as needed.
- Lots of platform updates. This is always the case with -rc1 and I
  never know which ones to emphasize.
  - That said, we've removed ATAGS support from some platforms as it's
    very legacy these days.
- Lots of fixing of issues reported by Smatch.
- We now support clang-format and prefer that over the old
  scripts/Lindent option for formatting code.
- Continued work on improving our old pre-rST docs and converting them
  to rST.
- Fixes in our DFU, MMC, PMIC, USB, UBI, SCMI, UEFI and networking
  subsystems.
- Some cleanups and improvements to Falcon mode, with the aim of being
  able to support this feature in secure boot contexts.
- More patches required for "allyesconfig" to build have been merged,
  but some are still outstanding.

I continue to plan to do an rc release every two weeks and the final
release will be 05 January 2026.

Thanks all!
