Description

Reworked u-boot compilation for meson-s4t7 to make sure we are following same process for u-boot compilation as Khadas. Now we are not compiling it twice like we were doing it before as mentioned in #6112. Added post install script in uboot with option to force upgrade the same. The code is based on what is being used in armbian-config's bootloader update code. Also moved tinkerboard specific code out to tinkerboards's config
