Thanks for this. However, now that the issue has been fixed upstream,
I'm not sure I'm willing to make our uboot.mk more complicated to fix a
problem that:

 1. Only occurs with sunxi targets and a few x86 platforms

 2. Only occurs with 2017.01 exactly. binman didn't exist before, and
    2017.03 was fixed in time.

So I'm tempted to put the burden on people using 2017.01 on those few
platforms to carry the small patch (or upgrade to 2017.03).

What do you think?

Thanks,

Thomas
