[Armbian build PR] - rpardini's dirty laundry, late April/'23

rpardini's dirty laundry, late April/'23

• uefi/edge: bump to 6.3
• bcm2711/grub: add busybox (for initrd grep/sed) so initramfs-growroot works again on Debian
  • bcm2711: bomb early when RELEASE is set and not supported
• bcm2711/edge: bump to 6.3 (rpi4b, RPi Foundation Kernel)
• rockchip-rk3588/edge: bump to 6.3, drop 6.2 patches
• rk3568-odroid/edge: bump to 6.3 (odroidm1)
• virtual-qemu: move to eos (replaced by qemu-uboot-x86 and qemu-uboot-arm64)
• qemu-uboot-arm64/qemu-uboot-x86: split more x86/arm64 differences, add some docs, bump to u-boot 23.04 +update-patches; add arm64 bootscript
• extensions: introduce u-boot-menu extension, for use with extlinux
  • this is using the default Debian/Ubuntu package, we probably should replace that with our own scripts
• kernel-debs: call linux-update-symlinks in postinst; expected of Debian-compatible kernels
  • this handles /vmlinuz etc symlinks (doesn't know about uInitrd, etc)
• initramfs post-update 99-uboot: add verbose logging, no actual changes
• sun50iw9: don't inadvertently override pre-existing hook function name - fixes #5099
• imx7d (EOS): codeaurora.org is no more, move to nxp-imx's repos for both kernel and u-boot
• grub: keep u-boot stuff if UEFI_GRUB=yes
• git-ref2info: many fixes for nonstandard repos; try a few different dereference and refs/ combinations in a certain order; remove codeaurora repo handling
  • git-ref2info: when resolving SHA1's for 'xxx' tag or branch, try first refs/heads/xxx, then just 'xxx'; validate SHA1 with 40-char regexp
    • this works-around Gerrit-style repositories that have a 'refs/for/xxx' ref that gets in the way
    • case in point: https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot/tree/odroidc-v2011.03 (has both refs/heads/odroidc-v2011.03 and refs/for/odroidc-v2011.03)
  • git-ref2info: when processing tags for a SHA1, try both dereference and non-dereferenced, in that order, to get a SHA1
    • this solves old problem reported in #4916: GitHub incorrectly processes dereference requests for tags that are not actually annotated
    • case in point: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-kernel/releases/tag/4.4.202-1237-rockchip-ayufan
  • codeaurora is no more, https://bye.codeaurora.org/
