[PATCH v2 10/10] tests/functional/arm: Add MCIMX6UL-EVK boot tests

[Bin Meng <bin.meng@processmission.com>]

The MCIMX6UL-EVK machine supports loading U-Boot proper with the
generic loader and booting Linux directly, but neither path has
functional coverage.

Add a versioned Buildroot asset containing U-Boot, a Linux kernel,
the board DTB, and a 128 MiB SD card image. Exercise both boot paths
and verify that they reach the Buildroot login prompt.
