BOARDFAMILY `rk322x` was integrated into the `rockchip` BOARDFAMILY in https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6092
This integration made the hardware optimization for rk322x not apply anymore.
Also remove a rk322x optimization for an old 4.4 kernel
The board config file was likely copy-pasted from a former `media` board and thus includes some stuff that is not needed, like the abandoned U-Boot repo which is basically an old fork from Raxda's vendor U-Boot.
- Switch to default rk3588 vendor U-Boot (using a generic rk3588 defconfig)
- Cleanup board config file
All remaining `media` boards have been integrated into the `rockchip64` family.
- Remove the family config
- Remove all kernel patch folders
- Remove all U-Boot patch folders
- Remove all kernel configs
Also move the ROCK_USB variable for RK3588 from rk3588.conf to rockchip64.conf to achieve consistency.
Remove the now obsolete variable for OrangePi 3B
Changes to be committed:
modified: config/boards/aml-s9xx-box.tvb
modified: packages/bsp/aml-s9xx-box/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.template
The aml-s9xx-box builds use the native TV Box u-boot. I've had as a
todo item to figure out how to not build and include an unused u-boot.
In a recent PR for a different board the opposite was being done
(adding a u-boot where a board didn't previously ship one), thus
I then had the info to remove it here.
This also changes the generated extlinux.conf to include a fdt line
by adding the boot_fdt_file to the board config file. This reduces
the effort needed to manually modify the extlinux.conf.
- otherwise:
```
fsck.ext4 -a -C0 /dev/mmcblk0p1
/dev/mmcblk0p1 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12
e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!
```
- `orphan_file` can only be disabled on recent-enough e2fsprogs, thus check version and compare
- in practice:
- boards that didn't specify their own blobs: bump DDR 1.08->1.16 ; BL31 1.28 -> 1.45 (example: rock-5b!)
- boards that specified 1.16/1.45 individually now follow the defaults (no change)
- boards that specified a different version: no change; just a TODO suggesting review/removal/go-with-the-defaults
- Mekotronics boards: bump from 1.11/1.38 to defaults (1.16 / 1.45)
The "swapaccount=" option has been deprecated in 6.1. Disable it in almost all boot scripts except "boot-sun50iw9.cmd" since that one is used in sun50iw9 legacy kernel, which is version 4.9.
Link to kernel commit:

Instead of having to add every new release to the list that does not support python2, inverse this if statement and only check if the build host is Debian bullseye or ubuntu jammy. Every release newer than those do not have python2. Older build hosts are unsupported.
Different build hosts have vastly different versions of setuptools and pyelftools depending on the host OS, e.g. Ubuntu 22.04 has setuptools v59 while the latest version at the time of this commit is setuptools v71.
Using Pip instead of APT to download these packages assures that all build hosts use the same version, removing some points of failures and inconsistencies.
