As described by [1], the kernel generated by the configuration for the
STM32f469 Discovery board is buggy. Using a newer kernel, as suggested
by [1], increases the dtb and Kernel image size. In particular, the
5.12 version of the kernel generates a dtb and a kernel image whose sum
exceeds the 2 MByte of the flash module.
So I decided to replace the afboot-stm32 bootloader in the flash with
U-boot to easily boot the system from sdcard without having to worry
about the size of dtb, kernel and rootfs generated by the configuration.
This solution allows you to fix the kernel boot issue and makes it
possible to use its future versions.

[Arnout:
- specify headers version explicitly, even though it's default;
- bump kernel to 5.12.11]
Very similar to the other stm32mp157-based boards, except that we use the
multi_v7 defconfig for ease of maintenance.

This commit changes the stm32mp1 configurations to use the TF-A ->
U-Boot boot flow (called "trusted boot flow" by ST) instead of the
U-Boot SPL -> U-Boot boot flow. ST recommands this trusted boot, and
it's also the only one that allows to use the STM32 Cube Programmer
for reflashing devices.
As part of this, the genimage configuration file is now generated, as
it contains some file names that depend on the platform. Removing
partition-type from genimage.cfg is mandatory, since it would cause a
hybrid MBR partition table to be created, which itself would prevent
ATF from finding the ssbl parition.

This commit adds a minimal defconfig to build a Buildroot system for
the STM32MP157 Discovery Kit, which is the low-cost evaluation
platform for the new STM32MP157 system-on-chip from ST. This
system-on-chip features a single or dual Cortex-A7, a single
Cortex-M4, and a wide variety of peripherals.
This commit includes a custom linux configuration file, because there
is no specific defconfig for this platform in the kernel, only
multi_v7_defconfig supports it, which is really a massive
defconfig. That's why a custom linux configuration file is added.
A small U-Boot config fragment allows to disable the watchdog, so that
userspace by default doesn't need to have a watchdog daemon running.
The vendor U-Boot and Linux trees are used for the moment, but the
platform support is being upstreamed, so switching to upstream
versions will be possible in the relatively near future.

Since the bump of OpenOCD from 0.9.0 to 0.10.0 in commit
3b6c74d708, stm32f469_disco_defconfig
fails to build:
- 0001-add-config.patch was merged in upstream OpenOCD (commit
26045588f462476cee356d15a24944d6c26befb4).
- 0002-flash-nor.patch was merged in upstream OpenOCD (commit
3e219648c80a27f0519003f3b088cbb846e255d8)
Therefore, this commit removes the two patches that are no longer
necessary.

Similar to stm32f429_disco, this commit adds a configuration for the
Cortex-M4 based STM32F469 platform.
It requires a few kernel patches, which have already been submitted
upstream, as well as a small OpenOCD patch. Besides that, it re-uses
most of what has been added for the STM32F429 platform.

This commit adds a defconfig for the STM32F429 platform, which is
based on a Cortex-M4 core from ST Microelectronics. It is therefore
the first noMMU ARM platform supported in Buildroot.
This commit includes some files that will be common to several STM32
platforms (hence in board/stmicroelectronics) and some files that are
specific to the STM32F429 (hence in
board/stmicroelectronics/stm32f429-disco). More specifically, this
commit adds:
- A minimal Busybox configuration, which is small enough to boot
without causing OOM on such small noMMU platforms. The resulting
Busybox, statically linked with uClibc-ng, weights around 220
KB. For now, this file is located in board/stmicroelectronics/, but
we might consider moving it to package/busybox/ in the future if
needed.
- A post-build script that removes the mounting of /dev/pts (not
enabled in the kernel and not very useful for a system that has no
network and no X), and removes the network related init script and
configuration files (no network support).
- A flash.sh script, to perform the right OpenOCD invocations to
reflash the board.
- One small kernel patch to adjust the kernel command line in the
Device Tree, since it's the only way to do so.
- The usual readme.txt file.
