This commit consolidates all BSP support files into the Buildroot standard board/ directory. The concept of selectable boards in menuconfig remains as-is but now lives in board/ instead. Drop support for board-specific post-build.sh scripts, not needed atm. and we should really use Buildroot _POST_INSTALL_HOOKS in the board .mk files instead.

Microchip SparX-5i PCB135 (eMMC)
At present, only FIT images are supported via the SparX-5i eval board's U-Boot, which must contain a valid load address. If you are using this board, after selecting your base configuration, run the following command to supplement the existing config with the required FIT options:
make board-enable-sparx-fit
Unbricking
- Don't load a corrupt bootloader to begin with
- Done
If, for some reason, you didn't manage to follow step 1, you can use
the FLASH_PROG(J4) connector on the board to access the SPI flash
directly.
Using a Bus Blaster in combination with dangerspi, you can load a new bootloader. The schematic below details how to connect the Bus Blaster to the board, but the concept should be portable to any debugger/device based around an FTDI2232 chip.

With the cable in place, build U-Boot with the correct configuration:
make fireant_boot_defconfig && make
To flash it to the board, connect the cable to J4 and run:
make board-sparx-flash-uboot
