GRUB has not pushed many patches to master since the recent 2.12
release, but there are a number of interesting fixes.
libreboot is doing a release soon. bump to latest grub revision.
Some of the new patches in GRUB are interesting:
XFS fixes:
"fs/xfs: Handle non-continuous data blocks in directory extents"
68dd65cfdaad08b1f8ec01b84949b0bf88bc0d8c
Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2254370
Apparently, XFS could not boot in some reports, though this was
likely with BIOS or UEFI GRUB; no such reports were made to libreboot
"gfxmenu/view: Resolve false grub_errno disrupting boot process"
39c927df66c7ca62d97905d1385054ac9ce67209
"util/grub-fstest: Add a new command zfs-bootfs"
28c4405208cfb6e2cea737f6cbaf17e631bac6cd
The gnulib revision does not need to be updated at this time.

* 0bb59fa9a kern/ieee1275/init/ppc64: Introduce a request for regions_claim()
* aa7c13226 fs/xfs: Add large extent counters incompat feature support
Most notable in the above log, that are beneficial to Libreboot
users, are:
aa7c13226 which improves XFS support (large extents), which is default
now on many setups.
ed74bc376 which introduces more stable timestamp generation when using
grub-mkstandalone. this is what lbmk uses to generate grub.elf, whereas
grub previously only implemented this fix on mkimage which we don't use
f18a899ab which ensures deterministic (reproducible) tar file creation
by sorting contents (file names / directories). this is done by sorting
the entries
f5905f656 which improves grub build system reliability on netbsd and
openbsd systems - useful for us because an ambition of lbmk is to port
the build system to run on bsd systems, and we will still want grub -
several other of the changes here are beneficial for BSD aswell, all
or most of them by Vladimir Serbinenko

(gnu links as primary is ok)

most of the changes since last revision aren't very
useful to us; most of them pertain to fs/ntfs, but
there is one that is interesting:
48f569c78a496d3e11a4605b0999bc34fa5bc977
kern/acpi: Skip NULL entries in RSDT and XSDT

With this change, it's still possible to have a single
file at config/git/revisions, but this has been scrapped.
Instead, multiple files now exist under config/git/ with
the same modules declared, but the files are separated
logically. List of files under config/git:
* bios_extract
* biosutilities
* coreboot
* flashrom
* grub (gnulib also defined here)
* me_cleaner
* memtest86plus
* seabios
* serprog (multiple projects defined)
* u-boot
* uefitool
The rationale behind this change is simple: in the future,
we will stop relying on build systems within imported
projects for the import of git submodules. Instead, we
will handle them directly in lbmk.
Additionally, a Linux payload is planned for Libreboot, made
easier by the recent audit (script handle/make/config makes
it easy to integrate Linux, and handle cross-compilers for
userland utilities); a "linux" file under config/git/ could
also define rules for each project besides linux, such as
musl libc, busybox and other utilities.
