[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 1/1] configs: beaglebone: bump kernel and uboot version

[Lothar Felten]

Switch to Linux kernel version 4.9.59 from the TI SDK 04.02.00.09
(TI SDK release date: 23.12.2017)
Updated uboot to version 2018.01
uEnv.txt corrected to boot from sd card on the ti-am335x-evm

Signed-off-by: Lothar Felten <lothar.felten@gmail.com>

v3:
- set uboot version to 2018.01 in defconfig
- keep default rootfs size
- keep Kconfig and dtc for uboot

Tested on beaglebone back and ti-am335x-evm.

Applied to master, thanks. What about beaglebone_qt5_defconfig ? This
one is getting a bit outdated :/

Best regards,

Thomas

The current qt5_defconfig uses old SGX binaries which do not depend on
libgbm and wayland.
Newer versions of the binaries would probably need a new package to
provide (ti-)libgbm.
I'll have to try it again with the binaries used by the latest SDK
release.
