Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  OpenSBI 1.1 has added an emulation of the fence.tso instruction
  missing on the Allwinner D1 SOC. This emulation hangs in an endless
  loop. This is fixed by the following upstream patch:

  111afc12306e ("lib: sbi_illegal_insn: Fix FENCE.TSO emulation infinite
  trap loop")

  We need to rebuild packages u-boot and u-boot-nezha with the updated
  OpenSBI to make use of the fix.

  [ Test Plan ]

  * Boot QEMU, SiFive Unmatched and Nezha D1 with the updated U-Boot.
  * Install package clang.
  * Execute command clang -v (which uses the fence.tso command).
  * Reboot.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The patch added concerns only the fence.tso emulation.

  If the patch were wrong, the Nezha D1 might still fail in the
  emulation.

  A defective OpenSBI might lead to failure to boot, to reboot, to
  poweroff or to crashes when Linux calls into SBI.
