configs/freescale_imx91frdm: new defconfig

This commit adds support for the i.MX 91 FRDM (Freedom) board.

The i.MX91 FRDM development board is a low-cost and compact
development board featuring the i.MX91 applications processor.

See: https://nxp.com/FRDM-IMX91

This defconfig is based on freescale_imx93frmd_defconfig, introduced in
commit 2e05f22ff8

Compared to the original freescale_imx93_frmd_defconfig, this defconfig
uses a Bootlin glibc stable external toolchain, to follow guidelines

**********************
NXP i.MX 91 FRDM board
**********************
This file documents the Buildroot support for the i.MX 91 FRDM
(Freedom) board. For more information on this board, see [1].
Build
=====
First, configure Buildroot for the i.MX 91 FRDM board:
make freescale_imx91frdm_defconfig
Build all components:
make
When this command completes, the generated image containing everything
to boot from the SD card is located in "output/images/sdcard.img".
Create a bootable SD card
=========================
To determine the device associated to the SD card have a look in the
/proc/partitions file:
cat /proc/partitions
Buildroot prepares a bootable "sdcard.img" image in the output/images/
directory, ready to be dumped on a SD card. Launch the following
command as root:
dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<your-sd-device>
*** WARNING! This will destroy all the card content. Use with care! ***
For details about the medium image layout, see the definition in
board/freescale/common/imx/genimage.cfg.template_imx9.
Boot the i.MX 91 FRDM board
===========================
To boot your newly created system (refer to the i.MX 91 FRDM
Documentation [2] for guidance):
- insert the SD card in the SD slot (P13) of the board;
- Configure the SW1 boot switches as follows:
SW1: 1100 SW1[1-4] ("USDHC2 4-bit SD3.0" Boot Mode)
- connect a USB Type-C cable into the P16 Debug USB Port and connect
using a terminal emulator at 115200 bps, 8n1;
- power on the board by connecting a USB Type-C cable into the P1
Power USB Port.
Note 1: the board boot switches default configuration is:
SW1: 0100 SW1[1-4] ("USDHC1 8-bit eMMC 5.1" Boot Mode)
and the board is also pre-flashed with a reference Linux demo
image. It is important to change the boot config switches to make
sure the system will boot on the SD Card.
Note 2: the debug USB connector presents 2 UARTs (for example
/dev/ttyACM[0-1]), the Cortex-A55 UART should be the 1st one (in the
previous example, /dev/ttyACM0). Refer to the documentation [2] for
more details.
Enjoy!
