Description Rework of https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4807 as its not possible to push into the original branch to fix remaining problems and merge. Removed necessary config options: all u-boot configs are custom we avoid FAT boot if possible. This hardware boots from ext4 without problems. Changing to fat will not help in reliability. armbian wireless package have all firmware needed for this hw and for most popular USB dongles. If those wireless drivers firmware would be considered as a bloatware, we should also make very custom kernel and remove all things that are wasteful for this device. We could do that, but what we don't have is - time. build config has b…

Description One user on the forum (see https://forum.armbian.com/topic/27798-orange-pi-4-lts-default-thermal-trip-point-issues/) found issues with Orange PI 4 LTS thermal trip points. Looking into the problem, it is related to a patch introduced long time ago that changed the thermal trip points away from the vendor (and mainline kernel too) supplied ones. After some stress testing with openssl and mbw combined, my board froze and I had to shutdown it manually, let it cool and restart to have again a working system. It happens that, at least on my and forum user cases, the trip points are not doing what they expect to do. This patch corrects the trip points for Opi4 LT…
