It would be nice to be a bit more explicit: the Linux kernel version is
still from a vendor-specific Git repository, while the U-Boot version
used is now the upstream version.

'socfpga-4.16' is the name of a branch, so using that makes the build
non-reproducible, since the actual contents will depend on when it is
being fetched.

Since they don't provide tags apparently, we don't have any other
choice but to use a full commit SHA1. Could you adjust that ?

Please don't keep this in comments.

Please don't keep these as comments, just delete those lines.

Could you adjust your patch, and send an updated version ?

Thanks!
