At the moment, it is difficult to combine brmake with docker-run.
`docker-run brmake ...` doesn't work because our docker image doesn't
have unbuffer. In addition, inside the container the timezone is UTC,
but you probably want the timestamps added by brmake to be in local
time. Therefore, it's better to have the call to docker-run nested
inside brmake.
Currently, brmake doesn't have any way to pass parameters, all of "$@"
is passed unchanged to the `make` invocation. Thus, there is no
established way to pass in the option whether or not to use docker. We
choose to use an environment variable to pass in the option. The
convention is that such a buildroot-specific environment variable should
start with BR2_, so we choose BR2_DOCKER.
Run make inside docker-run if the BR2_DOCKER environment variable is
set. Update utils/readme.txt (the only existing documentation of brmake)
with this information.

Update comment. This release includes pre-generated man pages & HTML
docs in dist tarballs [1], but we don't install them anyway (Buildroot
does not ship package docs).

Having the uboot environment defined on the SD card allows the user to
use the uboot setenv and saveenv commands to make persistent changes
(e.g. to change the boot order, or to set a server IP for PXE boot).
Set the uboot-env partition type GUID to "U-Boot environment", see:
https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/v2024.10/doc/README.gpt#L288https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_type_GUIDs
and enable CONFIG_PARTITION_TYPE_GUID such that uboot will automatically
find the SD card partition to store/load the uboot environment to.
We need to mark the root partition as bootable, otherwise uboot will no
longer be able to boot the partition by default. (Most likely because
the root partition is now no longer the first partition on the device.)

This commit adds the integration of the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK).
This commit does not enforce the use of UIO or VFIO kernel frameworks,
as DPDK's architecture supports userland memory mappings that do not require
these technologies. By maintaining this flexibility, DPDK can operate with
a broader range of hardware and software configurations.
Only the little endian targets are properly supported by DPDK. Big endian
was supported, mostly on Power8, but it has not been used for a while and
IBM is not strongly pushing any tests. Should big endian be supported
again, DPDK community will be welcoming any contributions.
Notes about license:
DPDK was released with the BSD-3-Clause license.
One network driver, the Google Virtual Ethernet (GVE) include files
under the MIT license. See [1] and [2].
There used to be GPL-2.0-only licensed kernel modules, but they got
removed in previous versions [K] [KNI], so Buildroot won't be used to compile
the GPL-2.0-only code.
There are also 2 files in "lib/eal/windows" under other licenses
(namely BSD-2-Clause, ISC and MIT) but they are parts of the Environment
Abstraction Library (EAL) for Microsoft Windows OS, it means they are
not used when compiling for the Linux targets of Buildroot.
The list of DPDK license exceptions is maintained at [2].
Add configuration options to enable DPDK examples and tests.

Since libcamera commit f513fd70ba1a ("subprojects: Drop leftovers of
pybind11"), merged before libcamera v0.1.0, libcamera has no longer
relied on an external subproject branch of pybind to build the python
bindings.
Provide a new package option to allow enabling the python bindings on
libcamera when python3 is available in the buildroot configuration.
Enabling the python bindings will select and bring in pybind as a
dependency.

When building on an ARM64 build server, the build of
configs/ti_am62x_sk_defconfig fails when building the Cortex-R5
U-Boot, as it uses host-arm-gnu-toolchain, which assumes the host
machine is x86-64.
Use $(HOSTARCH) instead so that it can download the bare-metal
toolchain also provided by ARM for the ARM64 host architecture.

A bunch of new hardware has been enabled for rock5b in linux 6.11,
most notably USB3 host controller support, GPU support, cpufreq
support, and PCIe endpoint mode support.
Add the dependency on host python3 that is new since linux 6.10.
Also add the missing dependency on openssl (which has been needed for
a long time, since we are using arm64 defconfig, but only shows up as
an error if the host system doesn't have extract-cert installed.)
