v2025.11.0

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

Hi All,

barebox 2025.11.0 is released.

This is one of the smaller releases this time. We have support for two
new boards, the i.MX93 FRDM board and the Enclustra Mercury+ SA2 board.

The NFS code does much better checking of the data coming from the
network so that memory overflows on corrupted NFS packets are avoided.

The parted command is now able to create a partition up to the end of
the device which simplifies scripting.

See below for the migration guide and a full list of patches that went
into this release.

Have Fun!
 Sascha

Migration notes for v2025.11.0
==============================

i.MX GPIOs
----------

Reading output GPIOs now returns the configured output level instead
of reading back the input register. This aligns us with what Linux
is doing, but may falsify readings of single-ended GPIOs that have
the SION bit configured.

Board support
-------------

Karo TX6X
^^^^^^^^^

The barebox update handler for this SoM no longer unconditionally updates
/dev/mmc3.boot0, but instead it now updates the inactive boot partition
on /dev/mmc3 and then sets it as active allowing for power-fail safety.
