+barebox-tools: fix build failure with glibc 2.43
+
+glibc 2.43 introduces linux/openat2.h through the fcntl include chain
+(bits/fcntl-linux.h -> linux/openat2.h). This header expects the
+__u64 type to be defined before inclusion.
+
+In barebox scripts/include/linux/types.h the header <fcntl.h> was
+included before the __u64 typedef, causing build failures such as:
+
+  linux/openat2.h:20:9: error: unknown type name '__u64'
+
+Move the inclusion of <fcntl.h> after the typedef definitions so that
+__u64 and related types are defined before linux/openat2.h is parsed.

+Upstream-Status: Pending

This should be submitted upstream, we should try to avoid adding
Pending patches without a clear reason given.

Hemanth meant to reply saying:

Hi Alex,

Sure, I'll do that but since we're in a hurry to get the glibc-2.43 merged,
I'll keep the existing status and follow-up with a status change next week,
once I've had time to submit a patch to upstream barebox:

Right Hemanth ?   :-)
