Looks like updating VERSION file was missed before building the slof.bin
(as checked in gitlab repo). Also, I see below FW version (git-xxx)
during boot:

SLOF 
********************************************************************** 
  

QEMU Starting 
  

  Build Date = Jun 18 2026 08:06:19 
  

  FW Version = git-def1516ec9340518 
  

  Press "s" to enter Open Firmware.


Whereas, earlier, it used to appear like proper release timestamp:


SLOF **********************************************************************
QEMU Starting
  Build Date = Oct 26 2025 18:45:22
  FW Version = release 20251026
  Press "s" to enter Open Firmware.

Curious to know if it's only the VERSION update needed or something more 
(make args) ?

Thanks
Harsh

As you just mentioned in chat, I also missed to update the submodule :-/

Sorry for messing up this time, I will send a v2 in the next days when I
got some spare time....

Applied, thanks.

Please update the changelog at https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/11.1 for any user-visible changes.

"PULL SUBSYSTEM" pullreqs are our marker for the oddball ones
that are for a subsystem maintainer, not direct application to
master. It also says "not for master" in the cover letter.

cf: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/submitting-a-pull-request.html
(last bullet point)

FWIW, my gmail filter for pull requests is
  "for you to fetch changes up to" list:(qemu-devel.nongnu.org) -{"not
for master" "PULL SUBSYSTEM"}

thanks

Oops. I will filter out "PULL SUBSYSTEM" pull requests, thanks for sharing that.

I haven't pushed to master yet, so I will drop this pull request.
Please take it through the ppc subsystem as originally intended.

Thanks,
Stefan
