What's the motivation for moving this to a mirror of the official sources? 
According to https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build/source.html the 
main and official forge is https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot and 
additionally https://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ still contains all release 
tarballs up to the most recent RCs. This is also mentioned in the README in 
top level U-Boot source.
