[Buildroot] [PATCH] configs: nexbox_a95x_defconfig: bump to kernel 4.12

[Peter Korsgaard]

Main difference is that the drm driver now supports the hdmi output.

The gxl variant device tree has been renamed in:

    ARM64: dts: meson-gxl: rename Nexbox A95x for consistency

    Since the GXL family has S905X and S905D SoCs, we're keeping the SoC
    name in the DTS filename for clarity.  Rename this file accordingly to
    be consistent with the rest of the GXL DTS files.

So adjust the defconfig and boot script to match.

Since you used this board, perhaps you could remove the bit in the
post-build.sh script that generates boot.scr, and use
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOOT_SCRIPT instead ? Should be a separate patch of
course.

Sadly, this will not allow to remove completely post-build.sh, as it
needs a special AArch64 uImage for the kernel. But I wonder why this is
done in the post-build.sh script and not the post-image.sh script.

And the post-image.sh script can be refactored to use the common
genimage script :)

Heh, I also got tricked by this. You would think that could be done, but
as the defconfig doesn't build u-boot (no public sources) we cannot use
that option.

It doesn't really matter as the kernel gets built before the post-build
script runs (except for initramfs, but the genimage configuration
expects ext4).

If we are to introduce kconfig options for genimage (which will cause
genimage to be executed BEFORE the post-image script, then this uImage
handling must be in post-build so it is available for genimage.

Correct. I would prefer to first rework the genimage handling to make it
available in kconfig instead of such in-between solution.
