configs: nexbox_a95x_defconfig: bump to kernel 4.12

Main difference is that the drm driver now supports the hdmi output. The gxl variant device tree has been renamed in: commit 7eea67101b9713ae438955e8899b3c4b078419f9 Author: Kevin Hilman Date: Fri Jan 20 07:57:52 2017 -0800 ARM64: dts: meson-gxl: rename Nexbox A95x for consistency Since the GXL family has S905X and S905D SoCs, we're keeping the SoC name in the DTS filename for clarity. Rename this file accordingly to be consistent with the rest of the GXL DTS files.

boards: replace $HOST_DIR/usr/ with $HOST_DIR/ in scripts

Since things are no longer installed in $(HOST_DIR)/usr, the callers should also not refer to it. This is a mechanical change with git grep -l 'HOST_DIR}\?/usr/' board | xargs sed -i 's%$HOST_DIR}\?$/usr/%\1/%g' Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

board: add support for nexbox a95x

2017-02-19T22:22:31+00:00

Nexbox A95X is a low cost Android STB based around an Amlogic s905(x) SoC (quad A53), 8/16GB eMMC and 1/2GB RAM. Both the s905 (gxbb) and s905x (gxl) variant is supported. This defconfig uses mainline Linux. As the mainline support for s905 is quite young, use the latest release candidate. There is currently no support for this board in U-Boot or sources available for the vendor U-Boot, so the defconfig doesn't build a u-boot and instead uses the existing U-Boot available in the eMMC. This also means that we need to wrap the kernel as uImage, which isn't suppported for aarch64. Instead this is done in the post-build script. Mainline aarch64 defconfig builds most drivers modular, so add mdev for module autoloading. [Peter: explicitly set BR2_cortex_a53=y] Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard
