[Buildroot] [PATCH v6 2/2] configs/versal_vck190: new defconfig

This patch adds support for Xilinx Versal VCK190 evaluation board.

VCK190 features can be found here:
https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/vck190.html

The VCK190 is based on the Xilinx Versal family:
https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/acap/versal.html

The VC1902 included with the VCK190 evaluation board has Xilinx
AI Engine acclerators designed for accelerating machine learning
applications.  Also included is an upgrade from prior Zynq and
ZynqMP families to ARM Cortex-A72 cores.

While the Linux kernel for Versal is quite similar to ZynqMP,
the boot process has significantly changed.

Triple-redundant MicroBlaze cores are used to boot and setup
Versal devices.  For this reason, current buildroot support
will download pre-built firmware images and use Xilinx bootgen
to generate the boot.bin for the vck190.

---
V1->V2:
  - removed uboot.fragment and using BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_MAKEOPTS instead
  - squashed versal_vck190_defconfig and board files into single patch
V2->V3:
  - correct console name to ttyAMA0
  - added necessary extlinux.conf append flags
V3->V4:
  - switch to stripped u-boot.elf binary
  - clean up bootgen.bif file format
V4->V5:
  - using new BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_FORMAT_BIN_ELF config
V5->V6:
  - using new BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_FORMAT_REMAKE_ELF config

+******************************************
+Xilinx VCK190 board - Versal
+******************************************
+
+This document describes the Buildroot support for the VCK190
+board by Xilinx, based on Versal.  It has been tested with the 
+VCK190 production board.
+
+Evaluation board features can be found here with the link below.
+
+VCK190:
+https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/vck190.html
+
+
+How to build it
+===============
+
+Configure Buildroot:
+
+    $ make versal_vck190_defconfig
+
+Compile everything and build the rootfs image:
+
+    $ make
+
+Result of the build
+-------------------
+
+After building, you should get a tree like this:
+
+    output/images/
+    +-- boot.bin
+    +-- boot.vfat
+    +-- Image
+    +-- rootfs.ext2
+    +-- rootfs.ext4 -> rootfs.ext2
+    +-- sdcard.img
+    +-- system.dtb -> versal-vck190-rev1.1.dtb
+    `-- versal-vck190-rev1.1.dtb
+
+How to write the SD card
+========================
+
+WARNING! This will destroy all the card content. Use with care!
+
+The sdcard.img file is a complete bootable image ready to be written
+on the boot medium. To install it, simply copy the image to an SD
+card:
+
+    # dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
+
+Where 'sdX' is the device node of the SD.
+
+Eject the SD card, insert it in the board, and power it up.
