On multi-chip DSA hardware (e.g., boards with multiple mv88e6xxx
chips), each switch chip has its own independent PHC device. With
boundary_clock_jbod enabled, ptp4l starts but only disciplines the
active slave port's PHC — the others drift.
Automatically start phc2sys -a alongside any BC or TC instance using
hardware timestamping. It subscribes to ptp4l's UDS socket, tracks
BMCA, and disciplines all non-active PHCs to match the active one.
On single-chip hardware it is a harmless no-op.
CLOCK_REALTIME is intentionally left untouched. Syncing the system
clock to PTP (phc2sys -rr), feeding the PHC from GPS/NTP (ts2phc,
phc2sys reverse), and full multi-source coordination (timemaster) are
planned as follow-on phases; see the issue tracker for the roadmap.

NOTE: this is intended only for use on devboards like EspressoBin where
the onboard bootloader only understands fat and ext2 file systems.
To enable, use 'make apply-ext4'

A container's command line, as reported by podman, may comtain environment
variables, which the current regexp (added in ed4fe58) does not support.
Extend the regexp to allow environment variables and add an operational,
config false, 'cmdline' leaf node to allow any characters to be reported
for the full command line in the operational output.

Also, simplify board README a bit now that we know that you don't need
to flip the boot switch to program eMMC.

Missing BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BUILD_SYSTEM_KCONFIG=y caused Buildroot to default
to legacy Makefile build system, which requires BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARDNAME
instead of BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARD_DEFCONFIG, resulting in a build error.

Add missing *.hash files for all board packages using the ix-board macro;
they declare LICENSE_FILES = LICENSE but had no hash file, producing a
warning during make legal-info.
Fix the date-cpp package where the hash file was named date.hash instead
of date-cpp.hash (package name is derived from the directory, not the mk
filename), causing Buildroot to skip the hash check entirely.
Add hash files for local-site packages confd-test-mode, netd, and
onieprom that declared LICENSE_FILES but provided no hash.
Also, rename package/date-cpp/date.mk to date-cpp.mk. Buildroot derives
the package name from the directory name, so the mk file must match. To
handle the archive name different we set DATE_CPP_SOURCE.

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.
