Reverse commit 75317a0 since this is a special case.
Eliminate the real reason for the inability to boot the kernel.
Linux kernel hangs in early boot on 32-bit ARM platform,
when ftrace 4-byte "mcount" function call location for
"_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore" function straddles icache lines.
The problem is present for (cross-compiler) GCC 10, 11, 12.
It does not happen when the kernel is compiled with GCC 9,
even when condition (1) is satisfied.

- **win**: notice how one can actually _spot_ revelevant changes now
- case in point, `1022-arm64-dts-rockchip-support-poweroff-on-rock-5a.patch` -- will drop it in separate commit
NB: This family only has one board (BananaPi R2) and has not been properly maintained in many years, so 'current' LTS kernel is enough.
No need for 'edge' kernel unless someone plans to step in as maintainer who bumps and tests it on every new kernel release.
- Adjust BananaPi R2 board config (board is mainlined)
- Remove legacy kernel patch folder and kernel config
- Remove unstable WiFi stuff
* To modify the PWM-fan temperature control policy of fine3399 to adjust the fan speed to a lower level
* Integrating support for xiaobaonas boards into the rockchip64-6.9 kernel

For the sunxi (armhf) architecture, this commit results in
an inability to load the kernel. It's actually a crutch
that can break everything tomorrow.
Therefore, freeze the kernel version for better times.
As per `config/sources/families/include/meson64_common.inc`, the meson64 family is only using kernels 6.1, 6.6 and 6.9.
The kernel patch folder for 5.10 was forgotten to delete when the kernel was bumped.
As per `config/sources/families/include/rockchip64_common.inc`, the rockchip64 family is only using kernels 6.6 and 6.9.
The kernel patch folder for 6.1 was forgotten to delete when the kernel was bumped.
As per `config/sources/families/rockchip.conf`, the rockchip family is only using kernels 6.6 and 6.9.
The following kernel patch folders from old kernels are not used anymore:
- 4.4
- 5.10
- 5.15
- 6.1
All remaining `media` boards have been integrated into the `rockchip64` family.
- Remove the family config
- Remove all kernel patch folders
- Remove all U-Boot patch folders
- Remove all kernel configs
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.
