t95z: add board file (and u-boot 2024.04) for T95Z Plus Amlogic tvbox

  • t95z: add board file (and u-boot 2024.04) for T95Z Plus Amlogic tvbox
    • we've had kernel patches/DT (from chewitt) for this in meson64 for a long time, but I never sent the board
    • uses blobs for the tartiflette-s912 which is also an DDR3 S912 (VIM2's blobs are DDR4 and won't boot)
    • this adds u-boot 2024.04 support, using chewitt's DT & 000.patching_config.yaml & a specific BOOTPATCHDIR
    • this is a full board as-if it was an SBC, and expects to boot from mainline u-boot;
      • for that to work you've to wipe the eMMC and get rid of the vendor-supplied u-boot
      • if this is not what you want/need, you can use the aml tvbox "board" instead, together with Android u-boot

First thanks for giving a TV box some love.
I didn't own an s912 based box. After seeing this I just ordered one off of eBay.

I do have a request on your PR. Can you rename the conf file to t95z-plus.tvb?

Also, since it seems.like there is now a newer t95z-plus that is based on the allwinner 618, (as that was all I could find initially on eBay), perhaps including "amlogic" or s912 in the name might be a good idea as well to help distinguish this older box from the new ones.

Cool. Happy toothpick'ing; make sure to keep a full dd dump of the vendor-shipped eMMC (the vendor u-boot in there might be useful one day).

rename the conf file to t95z-plus.tvb
including "amlogic" or s912 in the name

maybe aml-t95z-plus.tvb ?
