Hi Dowan,

Thanks for your first contribution!

I applied this series to master. I have made few minor changes:

I squashed linux and u-boot bumps into a single commit.
I changed linux.hash comment reuse hashes published upstream
I increased BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_SIZE to 256M: the default
arch defconfig builds more/bigger drivers and reached the 128M
limit.
Therefore, I removed partition size constraint in genimage.cfg
to make sure the sdcard image will adjust to the right partition
size.
I removed .checkpackageignore entry to fix check-package error.

See:
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/commit/2093bfa0aa48e8803bc93634beca9e0b176fecbb

Best regards,

Julien.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v1 3/3] configs/khadas_vim3_defconfig: u-boot version bump 2026.01

[Dowan Gullient via buildroot]

With U-Boot 2022.04 gnutls is required for building the hostool
mkeficapsule.

mkeficapsule tool is built by default if EFI_LOADER is set since u-boot
2024.10 [1].

Thus the BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_GNUTLS config is needed.

This commit also updates the defconfig to the new convention:
- It adds custom hashes, enable BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES=y and
BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR="board/khadas/vim3/patches" to store the files.
