- we had `_DEBUG=n` forced, which conflicted with `_EXPERT=y`;
- some important SBC features (like _GPIO_SYSFS) depend on _EXPERT=y
- we've plans to enable BTF/CO-RE kernels soon, so removing the non-debug enforcement makes some sense
- also, .config's will be free to determine debug config, nothing's changing in those here
- remove the `_EMBEDDED` special case handling, we can do that as well now
- add a separate hook to renable `CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS=y`; it was a victim of `EXPERT=n` in some kernels
- this does not include rewrites of all the .configs -- those should be done in a separate batch -- either way effect is the same, hooks will always override .config's
- during rewrites, a large number of new options will show up, since `_EXPERT=y` is used as dependency for many of Kernel's experimental-ish features
- armhf was disabled for some releases and now we get spurious failures building certain artifacts (firmware)

Validates the dts/dtb file for the selected board and outputs the validation logs to the user.
This can be used when adding a new board, developing or improving a dts file. Should lead to higher quality device trees and patches overall, if used.
- useful for `collabora` and other experimental kernels, we don't want to have to add it to each individual board's KERNEL_TARGES one by one
- but we don't want to allow typos in BRANCH to emit very strange unrelated errors
* main-config: fix: avoid errors when BRANCH contains a dash; convert to underscore
* rockchip64_common: shellfmt, no changes
* rockchip64_common: move SERIALCON defaulting logic to a (verbose) hook for flexibility
* config: allow to build BRANCHes not listed in KERNEL_TARGET as long as the config is valid

* extensions: mesa-oibaf extension by @monkaBlyat - mainline mesa PPA for Ubuntu
- does nothing on Debian
* extensions: (v3) amazingfated-rk35xx, now `rk-multimedia-amazingfate` - panfork-free
- simply skips if not on Jammy
- deploys Chromium + Widevine if desktop
* rockchip-rk3588: introduce `vendor-boogie-panthor` experimental BRANCH/kernel
- original: https://github.com/hbiyik/linux-rockchip.git (branch `rk-6.1-rkr1-panthor-v6`)

- rockchip-rk3588: introduce `boogie-bsp` BRANCH
- rockchip-rk3588: copy linux-rk35xx-vendor.config into linux-rk35xx-boogie-bsp.config
- rockchip-rk3588: update linux-rk35xx-boogie-bsp.config, no changes

- rockchip-rk3588: rename to `BRANCH=vendor-boogie-panthor` for "clarity" (lol)
- rockchip-rk3588: vendor-boogie-panthor: force SERIALCON, full firmware (for blob needed for panthor) & mesa-oibaf extension
- rockchip-rk3588: vendor-boogie-panthor: enable amazingfated-rk35xx extension sans-panfork
Since `armbian_kernel_config` is "NOT for user consumption. Do NOT use this hook, this is internal to Armbian."
`custom_kernel_config` is able to overwrite previously set values.
Disable CONFIG_EXPERT as well since DEBUG_KERNEL=y is a dependency for EXPERT=y, meaning DEBUG_KERNEL would be re-enabled automatically if EXPERT is enabled
Manually forcing kernel options with 'call_extensions_kernel_config()' can introduce missing dependencies or misconfigurations. This commit introduces a function which checks the config, re-establishes its sanity if necessary and outputs any changes to the user.
This also makes `./compile.sh kernel-config` (exiting without changes) and `./compile.sh rewrite-kernel-config` ouput the same config file. Previously, this was not the case.
* Re-add functionality to create linux-libc-dev when building kernel packages.
* linux-libc-dev: append -${BRANCH}-${LINUXFAMILY} to package name and update control file
- This way we can safely include BOOT_SOC in /etc/armbian-release as done in the previous commit
- this will cause a rebuild of _all_ bsp-cli packages, even those for boards that don't define BOOT_SOC
- hopefully one day we will have BOOT_SOC ("What is the SoC?") defined for all boards
- for now, it will be empty for those that don't define it, which should be harmless
- RTW8723DS, RTW8723DU is unsupported/deprecated/obsolete by the author since kernel 6.7 in favor of RTW88, so deprecate it for kernel >=6.8
- RTL88x2cs specifically says in its repo: "USE RTW88 NOT THIS DRIVER", so deprecate in favor of RTW88, except for meson64 family
- move random RTL88x2cs hook specific for meson64 family in drivers_network.sh to their family config
Also add commit dates to make life prettier and easier
The following drivers have been updated with fixes for 6.8
- driver_rtl8811CU_rtl8821C
- driver_rtl88x2bu
- driver_rtl8811_rtl8812_rtl8814_rtl8821
The following drivers have been updated without specific 6.8 patches:
- driver_rtl8189ES (patches for 6.7, deleted two upstreamed patches)
- driver_rtl8189FS (patches for 6.7, deleted four upstreamed patches)
