[PATCH] gitlab: Add a Colibri iMX8 board to the sjg lab
I have one of these boards loaded with Linux 6.6.2 and a video demo. Add an entry for it so that it can be used for testing.
Unfortunately quite a lot of work-arounds are needed to make this board work, but I am working with the supplier on this.

Just curious: what workarounds are you talking about?

1. It needs a special build target to build the final image[1] 2. Needs binary blobs in the root dir (I need it to use an env var to specify the location, or ideally use Binman) 3. The first time I build it gives an error, so I need to build a second time; it should build from a clean directory in one pass
Other things, for some reason, there is quite a delay between when the board boots and uuu returns, so some console output is lost. Also uuu is hugely verbose and needs a 'silent' mode.
Passing run here at [2]
