This patch updates the Cubieboard2 board defconfig to use newer u-boot
and linux versions, along with a few other improvements.
The other improvements were mostly backported from the recent Orange Pi
defconfig inclusion and are related to image generation.
linux-sunxi.org was used as a reference for both linux and u-boot
defconfig names.
In detail:
- Update linux to vanilla upstream -- currently 4.3.3 is the most
up-to-date. Although it lacks some features present only in the
linux-sunxi 3.4 branch, upstream support appears to be relatively mature
and is already being deployed by default by distributions such as Arch
Linux ARM.
- Update u-boot to vanilla upstream 2015.10. According to
linux-sunxi.org, upstream fully supports major functions (except NAND)
since 2015.07.
- Change image format to zImage and drop custom image generation script
in favour of genimage, as pointed out by reviewers in the Orange Pi
defconfig submission.
This was tested in a Cubieboard2 board with boot from mmc and it boots
fine to login prompt.
This has not been tested in a Cubieboard (A10) as I don't own any; the
version bumps probably apply to it although there are some differences
(lack of VFPv4 support, Cortex-A8 instead of Cortex-A7), so I have kept
the current Cubieboard defconfig and its scripts. This one has been only
build-tested.

The arm_foundationv8_defconfig currently doesn't build because it uses
an external AArch64 toolchain that has been updated (Linaro toolchain)
and is now based on gcc 5.x. Unfortunately, Linux 3.13 is too old to
be built with gcc 5.x.
As a minimal fix to make this defconfig build again, we switch to use
the internal toolchain backend. At the time this defconfig was
introduced, there was no support for AArch64 in the internal toolchain
backend, but now that it is available, there is no reason to not use
it. This makes the defconfig also more consistent with the other
defconfigs.
Obviously, the kernel headers used to build the toolchain are set to
the fixed version 3.13, so that they match the kernel being used.
While we're at it, the readme.txt file corresponding to this defconfig
is updated. Runtime testing has been performed with the latest version
of the ARM Foundation model.

The Barebox, AT91Bootstrap and Linux patches for the Calao QIL A9260
board are all located in the same directory, board/calao/qil-a9260/,
with only a prefix to indicate to which component they apply.
Unfortunately, since commit 0eba4759fa
("packages: apply custom patches using *.patch instead of
<pkg>-*.patch"), the logic to apply custom patches in Barebox and
AT91Bootstrap has been changed from applying <package>-*.patch to
applying *.patch (in order to be consistent with what we do for all
packages in Buildroot).
However, this had the effect of trying to apply both the AT91Bootstrap
and Barebox patches on both packages, which obviously cannot work.
This commit fixes that by moving patches around, and switching to use
BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR for all of Barebox, AT91Bootstrap and Linux
patches.
In addition, the defconfig was not specifying explicitly which Barebox
version to use, so right now it's trying to use Barebox 2015.09, on
which the board-specific patch does not apply. So we've forced to use
Barebox 2012.08, which was the lastest release available at the time
the defconfig was initially contributed.
