Cédric Le Goater 39ea74ffc7 configs/aspeed_ast2600evb: bump kernel to 6.16.7, check hashes, use bootlin toolchain

This commit adds BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES=y and
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN_ARMV7_EABIHF_GLIBC_STABLE=y in the
defconfig, bumps kernel to 6.16.7, and adds custom hash files and
removes the exception entry in .checkpackageignore.

[Julien:
 - mention kernel bump in commit title
 - move BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES=y down in defconfig
 - remove linux-headers hash file
]

Aspeed AST2600 EVB

Introduction
============

The AST2600 EVB is an evaluation board for the AST2600 SoC, most
commonly used as a Server Management Processor. It includes a
Dual-core ARM Cortex A7 processor with DDR4 SDRAM (up to 2GB), SPI
flash memory devices for BMC and host firmwares and numerous
controllers to drive the server board.

How to build it
===============

Configure buildroot:

  $ make aspeed_ast2600evb_defconfig

Compile everything and build the rootfs image:

  $ make

Result of the build
===================

After building, the output/images directory contains:

  output/images/
    ├── aspeed-ast2600-evb.dtb
    ├── flash.img
    ├── image.itb
    ├── rootfs.cpio
    ├── rootfs.cpio.xz
    ├── rootfs.tar
    ├── u-boot.bin
    └── zImage

Flashing the image
==================

To update the contents of the first flash device, copy flash.img :

  $ flashcp flash.img /dev/mtd0

or simply the boot loader:

  $ flashcp u-boot.bin /dev/mtd1

Preparing the board
===================

 * Connect a serial line to the board
 * Power-up the board

Booting the board
=================

The AST2600 EVB boots from the SPI flash device directly and loads a
first bootloader (usually U-Boot). U-Boot will attempt to load a Linux
kernel from the same flash device by default but other storage could
be used.

 * from U-Boot

   The FIT image image.itb can be used to boot the board from U-Boot
   using tftp

 * with QEMU

   $ qemu-system-arm -M ast2600-evb \
	-drive file=output/images/flash.img,format=raw,if=mtd \

   $ qemu-system-arm -M ast2600-evb \
	-kernel output/images/zImage \
	-initrd output/images/rootfs.cpio \
	-dtb output/images/aspeed-ast2600-evb.dtb \
