Changes to be committed: modified: config/boards/aml-s9xx-box.tvb deleted: packages/bsp/aml-s9xx-box/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf new file: packages/bsp/aml-s9xx-box/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.template

Description

Upgrades of the aml-s9xx-box bsp package were failing (apparently I've never tested this, nor has anyone reported it) The problem is that the package installs files into /boot which is a fat filesystem. dpkg doesn't support the fat filesystem for upgrades as it tries to create a backup link for each file it is replacing which fails. Solution is to remove the files being replaced in a preinst step This also necessitated using the standard armbian extlinux.conf file as installing a custom one would result in the extlinux.conf file being replaced (without the append line being added, thus making the box unbootable after upgrade)
