Joachim Wiberg 4b39b2c2d3 board: relocate SafeXcel firmware selection to Marvell BSPs
The MVEBU SafeXcel Crypto Engine firmware (linux-firmware minifw) was
originally added in 70c12c3 to the generic aarch64 defconfigs to silence
kernel probe failures on Marvell Armada SoCs (37xx, 7k, 8k, CN913x):

  crypto-safexcel f2800000.crypto: Firmware load failed.
  crypto-safexcel f2800000.crypto: HW init failed (-2)

It was then accidentally dropped in 0e2d12e (kernel upgrade to 6.18),
which rebased on a tree that predated the firmware addition.

Rather than restoring it to the generic defconfigs, move it to the two
Marvell board Config.in files where it actually belongs — consistent
with how RTL8169 firmware was handled for the Raspberry Pi CM4 IoT
Router Board Mini in 68313773.

Board Support

The board support for an architecture always starts with Qemu support, this is what each linux_defconfig at the very least sets up. Then each $BR2_ARCH has additional BSPs, e.g., Banana Pi BPI-R3.

The board/ directory is matched with the configs/*_defconfigs and the only execption is board/common/, which holds all shared files for Infix builds.

Each board/$BR2_ARCH/ can then have vendor/product sub-directories for the BSPs which may contain "fixups" to the base kernel config and any additional device tree files that should be included as well.

To rebuild a board-specific package, e.g. NanoPi R2S:
