Linux 6.1 has been marked LTS for a long time now. Time to bump
Linux for RaspberryPi's to the latest 6.1.61 Since April 2022
the RaspberryPi defconfigs have compressed kernel module enabled
by default. (see [1] and [2]).
To load compressed kernel modules kmod and xz packages are needed
because busybox doesn't support it.
For testing I used RaspberryPi 2, 3(32+64bit) and 4(32+64bit), all with mdev enabled.

Try to be less smart (focused on the one target/one use-case),
instead reduce the rpi-firmware package to a selectable list
of (verbatim) installed firmware files.
- change rpi-firmware config handling from rpi-variant/rpi-flavour
choices to bootcode.bin, pi-default/-extended/-cut-down and
pi4-/default/-extended/-cut-down selection
- add BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_CONFIG_FILE option to select installable
config.txt file
- remove config.txt modify code/handling from raspberry post-image.sh
script
- add different customized config.txt files to the raspberry board
section
- change dtoverlay krnbt from 'dtoverlay=miniuart-bt,krnbt=on' to extra line
with explanation comment
- change raspberry defconfigs to select appropiate rpi-firmware
and config.txt files
- change genimage-raspberrypi4.cfg/genimage-raspberrypi4-64.cfg to
use start4.elf and fixup4.dat
- update board/raspberrypi/readme.txt (add optional files fixup4.dat,
start4.elf and zImage)
With this changes a better support for custom use-cases should
be possible, specially multi-target SD cards as suggested by
Stefan Agner ([1]).

Commit 8c3f281626 (configs/rpi: fix defconfigs after upstream rebased)
attempted to point the raspberrypi defconfigs to an existing commit in
the linux rpi repository.
However, in doing so, only a partial replacement was done: the version
string in the tarball filename was not replaced (missing 'g' to the sed
expression).
Fix that now.

Branches in the Rappberry Pi linux repository are often rebased, which
means that commits that are not reachable from a reference (tag,branch)
will eventually get garbage-collected.
This is probably what hapenned with the commit we are curently
referencing in our defconfig files.
Swith to using the current HEAD of the rpi-5.10.y brnch, in lieue of the
previous one.

[Thomas: adjusted on top of Yann E. Morin changes to use a tarball

The linux git trees on github can be huge, and takes a long time to
download, which is not very nice nor convenient for newcomers.
Switch them to using a wget, with the github macro.
A nice side effect of this conversion, is that we no longer need to wait
for the git clone to finish to notice that the ref is gone; doing a wget
will instantly fail in that case.
Mechanical patch, obtained by running (hang-on tight):
$ sed -r -i -e 's/BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT/BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_TARBALL/; /BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL/N; s:BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="https\://github.com/([^/]+)/(.+)"\nBR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="(.+)":BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_TARBALL_LOCATION="$(call github,\1,\2,\3)/linux-\3.tar.gz":; s/(call github.*)\.git/\1/;' $(grep -l 'BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="https://github.com' configs/*)
olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime_mali had a comment in between, so it was
manually fixed thereafter; that comment was also moved.
Except for socrates_cyclone5 which did not work previously (missing tag
in git tree?), all the affected defconfigs still download their sources.

The current Buildroot defconfigs for Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi 2
instantiate a console on tty1, which appears on HDMI. Add a console on
the serial port (ttyAMA0) to be more consistent with other defconfigs
and provide a better out-of-the-box experience to users used to have a
serial console from Buildroot defconfigs.
This requires three changes:
1. have two 'console=' entries in the kernel command line: tty1,
then ttyAMA0;
2. change BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT to "console", so it starts
a getty on the last console= passed to the kernel, ttyAMA0;
3. add a new getty on tty1 to the generated inittab.
Step 2 is actually obtained by removing BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT
entirely from the defconfigs, since "console" is the default value.
Step 3 requires a post-build script since the Buildroot makefiles can
configure only one console.
Note: instead of simply adding a new getty on ttyAMA0 (which would
work) this patch actually changes BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT to
instantiate a console on UART, then adds back tty1 via
post-build.sh. This is done only to avoid the "GENERIC_SERIAL" comment
where we instantiate an HDMI console, then instantiate a really-serial
console on another line.
The result is these two inittab lines:
console::respawn:/sbin/getty -L console 0 vt100 # GENERIC_SERIAL
tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty -L tty1 0 vt100 # HDMI console

Since quite some time, the kernel and bootloader communities consider
zImage as the default format for kernel images on ARM, replacing
uImage. The load address information in uImage is no longer needed,
since the kernel is position-independent in terms of physical address,
except on a few old platforms. For most people, using zImage is simply
better/simpler, so let's switch to zImage as the default image format
on ARM.
All defconfigs are updated: 46 defconfigs no longer need to select
explicitly zImage because it's the default, and 16 defconfigs now need
to explicitly select uImage because that's no longer the default.

For most defconfigs, it was trivial to deduce the kernel version, by
just reading the version string, which could be:
- a standard upstream version string vX.Y.Z
- a non-standard version string, but still containg the standard X.Y.Z
Those for which it was not so trivial were those hosted on git tree.
Since most were already using a custom linux-headers version, it could
be easily deduced from that. It was confirmed by browsing said git trees
and check the version there.
There are a few cases were there was a mismatch:
- microzed: uses a 3.18 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.
- xilinx_zc706: uses a 3.14 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.
- zedboard: uses a 3.18 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.

Update the raspberrypi and raspberrypi2 configs to use genimage directly
to build the image.
Update the documentation to reflect this, and drop the volatile rootfs
option since it doesn't make much sense and it's not easily integrated

This changes the kernel used on the Raspberry Pi 2 from the 3.19 branch
back to the 3.18 branch. This provides a couple of advantages:
1. mmc0 works again. Floris Bos found out that this was due to using
the precompiled DTB files from rpi-firmware. These DTBs were built
using 3.18.
2. The rpi-3.18.y branch is not regularly rebased like rpi-3.19.y
according to popcornmix. See
