Having the uboot environment defined on the SD card allows the user to
use the uboot setenv and saveenv commands to make persistent changes
(e.g. to change the boot order, or to set a server IP for PXE boot).
Set the uboot-env partition type GUID to "U-Boot environment", see:
https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/v2024.10/doc/README.gpt#L288https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_type_GUIDs
and enable CONFIG_PARTITION_TYPE_GUID such that uboot will automatically
find the SD card partition to store/load the uboot environment to.
We need to mark the root partition as bootable, otherwise uboot will no
longer be able to boot the partition by default. (Most likely because
the root partition is now no longer the first partition on the device.)

Newer uboot versions contain commit ebb0ad4eef0a ("arch: arm:
mach-rockchip: Kconfig: Enable BOOTSTD_FULL for RK3399 and RK3588"),
which enables BOOTSTD_FULL for RK3588, making it easier to figure
out issues with the bootflow, if any.
Also add the GnuTLS dependency which is needed for uboot 2024.10.

A bunch of new hardware has been enabled for rock5b in linux 6.11,
most notably USB3 host controller support, GPU support, cpufreq
support, and PCIe endpoint mode support.
Add the dependency on host python3 that is new since linux 6.10.
Also add the missing dependency on openssl (which has been needed for
a long time, since we are using arm64 defconfig, but only shows up as
an error if the host system doesn't have extract-cert installed.)

Partition table hybrid means GPT + MBR.
There is no need to keep the MBR when using GPT, so migrate to GPT only.
This change also requires us to migrate from partition-type to
partition-type-uuid, otherwise genimage won't generate an image.
Note that GPT itself always writes a "protective MBR" at LBA 0.

This patch switches the board support of the Radxa Rock 5B from
using a custom kernel to mainline linux 6.7.4. Thereby patches,
which became redundant, are removed, as well as device tree
modifications and no longer needed hash files. The needed ethernet
drivers are activated via the kernel config fragment file. Also the
board support is switched from using a uboot script and a uEnv file
to using extlinux.

Commit d344ffe624 (configs/rock5b: add hash for custom uboot)
explicitly noted that the kernel was retrieved from a git-clone, so the
sha1 of the commit was enough to get what we expect.
However, that does not account for the fact that the upstream repository
can disapear or be temporarily unavailable (maliciously or not). In that
case, the kernel archive will be looked up on the backup mirror.
In that case, the download is via wget over https, which protects the
transport, but does not guarantee that the remote server serves the
expected archive.
The hash file was dropped when d344ffe624 was applied; restore it.
Since the defconfig now has hashes for all its downloads, enforce
checking hashes.

The defconfig uses a custom uboot version, downloaded with wget, so we
weant to be sure that it does not get modified on the server, so we add
a hash for it.
The kernel we get from a git clone, so the sha1 of the commit is enough
to be sure that what we get is what we expect (because we do a local
tarball out of a git clone).
Since we only get a hash for uboot and not for the kernel, we don't
enable BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES.

This patch introduces patches for the custom kernel, as it is
currently used for the Radxa Rock 5B. The patches fix two gcc
compiler warnings, which result in a build error, if the kernel
is used with gcc version 12.
Since also the code of custom board drivers for WiFi support is
affected, and no fixes are provided by the vendor, the custom WiFi
support is disabled.

This patch adds the defconfig file needed to build u-boot, kernel
and rootfs for the Rock 5B. In addition it adds a kernel config
fragment file, which activates the needed ethernet driver support.
It also adds a readme and post image scripts, needed to generate an
sdcard.img file, which can be flashed on an SD card to boot the
Radxa Rock 5B.

The genimage.cfg modified by this commit used the partition-type-uuid
c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b, which identifies the EFI System
Partition, for a partition that isn't the EFI System Partition, but
just a regular FAT partition, for which GUID
ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7 is more appropriate.
So we switch these to use partition-type-uuid = F, as it makes more
sense.
Please note that this commit introduces a difference in the resulting
output, as those partitions will now have a different GUID.

This defconfig tries to build an ARM Trusted Firmware version that
needs an ARM32 toolchain, which is not available as the platform is an
ARM64 one. The correct solution for this is to have a package in
Buildroot for an ARM32 bare-metal toolchain, but this wasn't done in
time for the 2019.08 release.
In order to not release 2019.08 with a broken defconfig, let's remove
it. It can be re-added later once the ARM32 bare-metal toolchain
problem has been resolved.
