u-boot-xlnx-dev was setting SRCREV directly (aka =, not ?= like
linux-xlnx-dev does). This was fixed up last year
(http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-xilinx/commit/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-xlnx-dev.bb?id=e694faab4dc3d2150aa4383d29d57f3fa9258188).

However for fido you should be able to force your override, with something like:

SRCREV_pn-u-boot-xlnx-dev_forcevariable = "<commit>"
