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'

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 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.

Neither the Raspberry Pi 2B or the Microchip SAMA7G54-EK board have WiFi
hardware by default so drop WiFi, and GPS, support to allow for smaller
builds with only the bare essentials in kernel and system.
Minimal builds in general don't need WiFi or GPS either, so let's disable
them from all. This may become a central theme going forward, keeping
the minimal builds ... minimal.

The v2025.01 release supports the Microchip SamA7G5* eval kit(s), which
means we can enjoy the same patch level of U-Boot as other Infix boards

DNS does not allow CNAME records at an apex domain (e.g. kernelkit.org),
so GitHub Pages cannot reliably redirect kernelkit.github.io to it. A
www subdomain can carry a CNAME pointing directly to kernelkit.github.io,
giving GitHub full control over the mapping and making the redirect work.

This includes adding a netd-daemon since FRR has gone towards all
daemons should be configured from mgmtd using YANG, netd uses gRPC to

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.
Enable gpsd and override package defaults to integrate in Infix.
- Sync with rules disabled downstream in Debian project to prevent
clashes with common vendor/device ids used for other device types
- Start gpsd instance with '-n' to ensure /dev/shm is udpated for chrony
