This is somwhat closer to what other U-Boot builds produce. The end-user will need to flash the first 442 bytes in the MBR, but that's what "sd_fusing.sh" did... mostly... This removes the "sd_fusing.sh" script, but it wasn't good anyway, as it only worked when CWD was the directory it was in, and forced sudo usage. This was verified to produce the same exact binaries in these conditions: Before this change: ``` $ cd result/ $ ./sd_fusing.sh .../test.img ``` After this change: ``` dd if=result/bl1.bin.hardkernel of=test.img conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=442 dd if=result/u-boot.img of=test.img conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 seek=1 ``` So it is assumed this change is 1:1 compatible in the end.

This is intended to provide a common source for boot firmware for U-Boot builds for Amlogic boards.
The intent here is to reduce the sprawl of different mismatched sources of truth with Amlogic board packaging. Note that **this produces a different output** compared to before. Though I cannot test, the output looks right.
- Make more deterministic with libfaketime - Remove reliance on buildPackages (by using nativeBuildInputs) - Provide firmware blobs via an attribute This is the first step into making the build more generic. This produces *generally* identical builds. The build differs only in the same way that the previous build differed using `--check` on its already non-deterministic output.
Otherwise I fear the generic names may be shadowed by something else in the environment.

I guess I can refresh this PR at some point by removing the untested parts, and preparing a new PR with them for when someone can test in the future. So yes, it's stale, but still desirable. |

This adds a firmware for the "La Frite" SBC from Libre Computer.
Though, I will say: the firmware files from upstream are as supported and as good as these.
This is because the vendor (Libre Computer) uses mainline U-Boot to build their firmware files. Adding support for the La Frite SBC was done mainly as an exercise to provide buildUBootMesonGXL to help other users introduce GXL Amlogic boards.
This builds on top of a WIP branch built on top of #101454. The idea being to exercise the new Amlogic U-Boot build infra with a board I can test with.
