Add a patch series to support VEPU121/VPU121, which mainly enables hardware decoding for H.264.
It can also decode MPEG2 and VP8 as well as do JPEG encoding.
Move kernel patch folder to archive/rockchip-rk3588-${KERNEL_MAJOR_MINOR} which is the default.
Also rename kernel config to linux-rockchip-rk3588-${KERNEL_MAJOR_MINOR}
Since the `edge` kernel branch often uses RC kernels, introduce a more stable `current` branch.
This branch should not be RC kernels and it also should move to an LTS kernel once released.
Patches are from the Linux Rockchip Mailing List, submitted by Alexey
Charkov. [1]
Notable improvements from changelog:
- Moved the TSADC enablement to per-board .dts/.dtsi files
- Dropped extra "inefficient" OPPs (same voltage - lower frequencies)
- Dropped second passive cooling trips altogether to keep things simple
- Added a cooling map for passive GPU cooling (in a separate patch)
- Added regulator coupling for EVB1 and QuartzPro64
Also enable automatic fan control on Rock 5B.

"general-add-overlay-compilation-support.patch" became obsolete in
Linux 6.9 (see AR-2352 [1]). Fix this problem:
- Rename *.dts sources in overlay directory to *.dtso
- Change "target +=" line to "dts-y +=" in overlay Makefile
- Remove "always +=" line in overlay Makefile
- Add .scr compilation support in kernel scripts/Makefile.lib
- Patch kernel scripts/Makefile.dtbinst to avoid flattening overlay
directory
For the last two points, see
general-add-overlay-compilation-support.patch

- Bump mainline kernel from 6.10-rc1 to 6.10-rc2
- Remove patches which are now mainlined
- Re-number "fix-initial-PERST-GPIO-value" patch as per number
ordering seen in 0000.patching_config.yaml
- Rewrite kernel config
- `common_defaults_for_mainline` already sets KERNELPATCHDIR='archive/s5p6818-4.14' thus this symlink is not necessary
- 1 step closer to a clean `patch/kernel` dir, when we could finally get rid of `archive/`
- add `pre_config_uboot_target` hook for switching BOOTCONFIG across the two targets
- adapt `UBOOT_TARGET_MAP` to not call the defconfig Makefile targets directly, instead, just do a variable assignment (ignored by Make)
- otherwise, when using the defconfig directly in the `UBOOT_TARGET_MAP`, the `post_config_uboot_target` .config changes are overwritten when Make is called
- only patch left is boot usb-nvme-scsi/sata first (still done in meson64.h)
- remove FIP handling from family file `meson-sm1.conf` into board file hook where it belongs
- u-boot: enable more compression methods, EFI debugging, i2c, leds, tcp networking
- use flashcp for mtd writing
- Unchanged:
- confirmed as of v2024.04: using the C4 (not HC4) defconfig is still needed to be able to write to mtd when booted from SD
- also confirmed: one still needs to erase Petitboot using Petitboot, then boot from SD, to be able to flash mainline u-boot to mtd

- makes it compatible with vendor out-of-box blobs (which include TEE) in the from-factory eMMC
- Armbian itself doesn't ship TEE blobs
- when combining from-factory eMMC blobs with an Armbian SD card, TEE blobs are in practice found by u-boot
- but then proceeds to fail with `optee api revision is too low`
- disable OPTEE in defconfig fixes it, TEE isn't used in any way by Armbian
