Add board support for the BananaPi BPI-R4 router board, based on the
MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880) SoC with quad-core Cortex-A73 CPU.
The BPI-R4 is the successor to the BPI-R3 but uses entirely different
silicon: the internal switch runs at 2.5 GbE per port, the two SFP+
uplinks use native USXGMII at up to 10 Gbps, and WiFi is provided by
a MediaTek MT7996E PCIe module supporting tri-band WiFi 7 (2.4/5/6 GHz).
Two board variants, BPI-R4-2g5 and BPI-R4P, replace one SFP+ cage with
a 2.5 GbE RJ45 port (using the MT7988A internal 2.5G PHY); the R4P adds
an optional PoE daughterboard on that port. Both use the upstream
mt7988a-bananapi-bpi-r4-2g5 device tree.
Interfaces:
- Standard R4: eth1 (gmac1/sfp2 LAN cage) → sfp2, eth2 (gmac2/sfp1 WAN cage) → sfp1
- R4-2g5/R4P: eth1 (2.5G PHY) → wan, eth2 (gmac2/sfp1 WAN cage) → sfp1
Factory reset / WPS button (GPIO14, active-low): detected by U-Boot at
boot for factory reset; reused by Linux as KEY_WPS_BUTTON at runtime.
eMMC install note: the MT7988A eMMC (pins 38-49) and SD card (pins 32-37)
use separate physical pads so there is no electrical bus sharing, unlike
some BPi-R3 configurations. However, a single MMC controller
(mmc@11230000) handles both, so only one is active per boot session.
The eMMC install procedure therefore still requires an intermediate SPI
NAND bootloader step until a Linux-side install path is tested.
SD card build (bpi_r4_sd_boot_defconfig) now uses the new
mt7988a_bpir4_sd U-Boot defconfig with cap-sd-highspeed enabled,
giving 50 MHz SD transfers instead of the previous 25 MHz legacy mode.
Also adds MT7988/MT7996 firmware support to the buildroot linux-firmware
package, for 2.5 GbE port PHY and WiFi7 extension board, and updates the
aarch64_defconfig, aarch64_minimal_defconfig, the arch README, CI
boot/image workflows, mkimage.sh, and the ChangeLog.

This is a simple two port router board, with the same
WiFi chips as BPI-r3.
The bootloader shall be the same as the BPI-r3, the bootloader
now probes which of the two is booting by checking for the PHYS
that only exist on BPI-r3-mini.
All build scripts use $BR2_ARCH to determine location of critical board files
and configuration. As per previous decisions, the BR2_ARCH variable controls
all naming in Infix and for consistency the defconfig files are also renamed.
This fixes the issue with missing DTB file(s) for the Raspberry Pi 2B.

This commit adds support to simplify sdcard.img generation by downloading the
latest bootloader build for a board from the 'latest-boot' release tag. The
tarball is saved in dl/bootloader/ and is extracted to a temporary directory
in output/build/boot-$board-xxxx on every invocation of mkimage.sh. This is
used for invoking genimage and bmaptool before copying the resulting images
to output/images/. (If $O is set, it is used instead of output/, above).
New options:
-d Download latest bootloader build for the given board
-f Force re-download even if bootlaoder tarball existgs

This commit consolidates mkimage.sh scripts into a unified SD card image
creation tool that works for all boards. It needs a bootloader an $ARCH
rootfs.squashfs image and a genimage.cfg.in template.
- Detects build directories from `O=` environment variable or `output/`
- Sources `.config` to discover Buildroot paths
- Uses Buildroot's `support/scripts/genimage.sh` when available
- Automatically generates `.bmap` files if `bmaptool` is available
- Fallback to direct `genimage` invocation if wrapper not found
See the online instructions for usage.
