The patch:
* bumps Linux kernel to version 6.18.8
* bumps U-Boot to version 2026.01
* forces check hashes
* create a board/freescale/imx6ull-evk folder dedicated to upstream Linux
and U-Boot to ease maintainance.
* clean up both imx6ullevk and imx6ull-evk readme.txt files

Removed patch that fixed building with libseccomp and old kernel headers
as systemd has fixed that upstream now.
Notable changes:
- Add -Dlibmount=enabled to host and target build. Disabling this
option disables building most of systemd's tools apart from
libsystemd.
- remove gcrypt and gnutls from dependencies and build options.
openssl is the only supported crypto library now.
- Disable nspawn build for host variant and add a Config.in option
for the target variant.
- systemd now requires kernel >= 5.4 while the recommended kernel
version moved to >=5.7. This make systemd depend on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_5_4, removing various dependencies
on older kernel header versions from sub options.
- The sha256sum of LICENSES/README.md changed due to various
license clarification, removal of some vendored files as well as
changing some file paths. Licensing did not actually change.
For changelog, see:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/v258.3/NEWS
Tested with `./support/testing/run-tests tests.init.test_systemd`
All tests passed
One of the tests now needs a bigger rootfs size.

When trying to build host-dtc on a host with glibc 2.43, the build fails
on the following error:

The issue can be reproduced on master with this minimal defconfig on a
host having glibc 2.43:
BR2_x86_64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_QORIQ_MC_UTILS=y
(QORIQ_MC_UTILS will pull HOST_DTC)
This error is due to some functions prototype update in glibc 2.43 for
ISO C23 (see [1], point 3 in the NEWS list). The corresponding fix has
already been integrated upstream, but it has not been released since
then.
Bring the corresponding upstream patch to allow host-dtc to build on
affected hosts.

Commit 50958bcdac ("linux: Add support for custom license files") added a
default value for the license files and made the option visible (E.G.
editable) when a custom VCS or tarball version is used, but it is also
needed for users of an older _CUSTOM_VERSION (E.G. mainline release), as
the referenced files were only added in Linux 4.16 with commit e00a844aca
("LICENSES: Add Linux syscall note exception"), so change that.
