I've tested that the attached patch builds all u-boot-* targets on x86_64 (cross-building most of them), with openssl removed from native-inputs. Unfortunately, u-boot-tools fails it's tests on aarch64 and armhf, but that appears to be the case with or without this patch, so it's no worse off than it was... I'm not sure where it would be appropriate to add more comments regarding the GPL/Openssl incompatibilities; e.g. if someone were to propose adding one of the u-boot targets that requires it, they might just go ahead and re-add the openssl input... live well, vagrant
