Sebastian Weyer 379a21b4f4 configs/khadas_vim3_defconfig: new defconfig
Add defconfig for the Khadas VIM3 board which uses a A311D SoC with a 4x
ARM Cortex-A73 + 2x ARM Cortex-A53 big.LITTLE architecture.

This defconfig includes the Linux mainline kernel version 6.3 as well as
mainline uboot version 2023.04 with an in-tree .dts and uboot-defconfig.
It also includes the host-tool amlogic-boot-fip which is necessary for
signing the bootloader. This host tool is used in the post-image.sh script
in order to generate the signed binary.

This binary is then flashed to the final sdcard.img after it is
generated using genimage. It is done in this way because the bootloader
image needs to be flashed in 2 steps. First the first 444 bytes need to
be flashed to the beginning of the sdcard.img, then we need to skip 68 bytes
in the source and the destination and then write the remaining
bootloader image to the sdcard.img.

The post-image script uses the files in the amlogic-boot-fip folder to sign
the bootloader image before integrating it into the sdcard image.
To copy the image file to the sdcard use dd:
$ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
