The Banana Pi R3 is a high-performance networking board featuring:
- MediaTek MT7986 ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core processor
- 4x Gigabit LAN ports (lan1-lan4)
- 1x Gigabit WAN port
- 2x SFP ports (sfp1, sfp2) for fiber connectivity
- Dual WiFi interfaces (wifi0 for 2.4GHz, wifi1 for 5GHz)
- USB support
- SD card boot support
This commit migrates the bootloader build from Raspberry Pi 4 board
package to a dedicated bootloader defconfig. The idea is to set up
dedicated wokflows for building bootloaders, which change rarely,
streamlining the Infix image builds.
A dedicated workflow, or job in an existing workflow, can then do
the composition to minimal SD-card images useful for starting up
Infix on boards where SD-card is the primary boot source.

Introduce a new approach to dtb-building:
Old way: `rsync` an overlay containing our dt source to the kernel,
and then build via buildroot's `_INTREE_DTS_NAME`. This does not work
in recent kernels (at least since 6.12), which requires all dtb's to
be explicitly listed in a `Makefile`.
New way: Create a separate package for every board, and build the
device trees via the kernel's standard interface for building external
modules. This has two main advantages:
1. We can easily interpose a patched version of an upstream device
tree. E.g., we can easily set the factory password.
2. It is much easier to get an overview of which boards are enabled,
rather than scrolling back and forth in the `_INTREE_DTS_NAME` list.
Enable all fully supported boards in the defconfigs.
