v2026.07.0

[Sascha Hauer]

Hi All,

I am happy to announce barebox-2026.07.0.

It's a rather small release, so nothing much to mention here. Ahmad has
continued to cleanup/bugfix EFI/EFI-loader support. The public key
support has been updated: We now have real keyrings where each keyring
can either be a key or another keyring containing more keys/keyrings.
One smaller thing that comes in handy sometimes is that barebox can now
create device tree nodes for PCI devices. That makes it possible to
attach runtime information to these nodes which Linux later picks up.
Support for that has been created for adding the MAC address for PCI
ethernet devices to keep it constant between barebox and Linux.

Have Fun!
  Sascha
