v2025.09.0

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

Hi All,

I am happy to release barebox-2025.09.0.

This relase brings us a bunch of new stuff. First of all there is
SoCFPGA Agilex5 support and also Rockchip RK3576 support. Ahmad has
introduced bfetch support, a nice eyecandy which shows information about
the currently running barebox similar to neofetch. To get there Ahmad
also introduced structered I/O support which allows us to capture
information from command output in a machine readable way. We are not
there yet, but in future this could be used to pass objects between
commands.  Along with the RK3576 support Michael has also upstreamed
support for booting signed Rockchip images so that we can now offer
secure boot for Rockchip. The nvmem layer now has nvmem-layout support.
device tree overlay files can now be integrated into FIT images so
that they can now be signed along with the FIT image.

As usual there are several fixes and improvements all over the place,
see below for a full list of patches that went into this release.

Have Fun!
  Sascha
