Altough, I would say you should update to newer uboot anyway. After that
you can completely drop p
0001-Makefile-HACK-Support-building-u-boot.toc1-for-lichee-rv.patch (as
uboot gained SPL support). Then you can simplify genimage.cfg. Also you
have to fix board/sipeed/lichee_rv/readme.txt to reflect path change
(currently there is $ make lichee_rv_defconfig). I hope this helps.
