This series converts rockchip boards over to use standard boot. It also fixes various problems which have come up recently, showing differences between the current implementation and the distroboot scripts.
This should get us closer to being able to turn down the scripts.
Alright, so I grabbed a few parts of this series to investigate the points I'm trying to grasp better, and I think this is going the wrong track. We should start off by dropping "default y" from BOOTSTD, and then start adding "default y if" for SoCs as we convert them. The end goal should be that we get to the point where we can "default y if ARM || RISCV || X86" or perhaps "default y !(PPC || M68K || ...)" as it's just a few architectures that haven't ended up being converted. But today, there's too much churn on platforms that aren't making any use of this. And I don't think this is going to be functionally worse than all of the places we "imply DISTRO_DEFAULTS" today, as functionally we can replace that with "imply BOOTSTD" as they get migrated.
