According to:
https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
version 5.4 is a longterm release, so:
- add longterm 5.4 series at 5.4.18
- update longterm 4.19 series to 4.19.103
- update stable to 5.5.3
- remove rc, as it quickly gets out of date. rc users will likely build
kernel from master outside of OE anyway
- set 5.4 as the preferred version for linux-mainline

Add support for AMPAK 6212A module:
1) install kernel module
2) install firmware
3) create the required symlink with the AP6212 NVRAM file
Enable the support in the boards with the module, according to:
https://linux-sunxi.org/Table_of_Allwinner_based_boards
The link creation with compatible name works on kernels >= 5.0.

This change is an adaptation of commit 81e8a52e8e40e47 from poky/master.
Linux kernel build dependencies include bison since v4.16.
There were two different commits in poky adding those dependencies:
- poky/master: 81e8a52e8e40e47
- poky/sumo: 20e4d309e12bf10
However just adding bison-native to DEPENDS in linux or linux-yocto
class (as in poky/sumo) appears to be insufficient. The reason has
been clarified in 81e8a52e8e40e47 commit message:
"For linux-yocto, we also need to specify the compiler/tools dependencies
for the configme task since it executes before configure and hence the
main kernel build DEPENDS will not always be in the sysroot before it
executes. Without those dependencies the kernel will be incorrectly
configured (i.e. bison is missing) or the configuration will fail
the mitigation tests."
Layer meta-sunxi is compatible with multiple Yocto releases. Some of
those releases have been developed and tested with earlier kernels.
So they may not include new bison kernel build dependencies. That
is why it makes sense to specify new kernel build dependencies
explicitely in meta-sunxi kernel recipes rather than rely upon
upper layers.

Currently, only one of the exposed USB ports works because we haven't
loaded the sunxi musb driver, which enables the OTG port to act in host
mode.
After enabling this driver in the config, both ports work correctly.

Bump Linux kernel version to 4.15.
Notes:
- orange-pi-zero-plus2: drop patch fixing sdcard detect
-- this fix is already in 4.15
- H2+/H3 SoCs: in 4.15 ethernet works right out of the box

This fixes an important brcmfmac use-after-free error:

The kernel-devicetree class now sets RDEPENDS_${KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME}-base so we
needs to do the same, otherwise bitbake emits a warning. Reference change is

Currently, using kernel config fragments is not working. If you try
adding one as documented in the Yocto Mega Manual [1], it will be
ignored.
There are two reasons for this:
- The config fragment logic is in kernel-yocto.bbclass, so we need to inherit
that (this is similar to what linux-raspberrypi does in meta-raspberrypi).
- We remove ${B}/.config, which undoes any config created by
kernel-yocto.
Fix this by inheriting kernel-yocto and not removing ${B}/.config. With
this patch, fragments are working. Note that we also need to add a few
variables (like KERNEL_KBUILD) to make kernel-yocto happy.

There is no common kernel defconfig for both arm and aarch64.
Create separate kernel defconfigs in arm and aarch64 subdirectories.
Proper defconfig will be selected in build time
according to target architecture.

- remove older stable release recipes
- bump stable linux recipe to 4.14.2
- bump git linux recipe to 4.15-rc1
- rename linux to linux-mainline
Renaming kernel recipe from 'linux' to 'linux-mainline' is needed to
get ready for adding aarch64 support. The reason is in the value of
OVERRIDES environment variable. BitBake uses OVERRIDES to control what
variables are overridden after BitBake parses recipes and configuration
files. So packages names are not allowed to take values listed in
OVERRIDES. One of the OVERRIDES values is TARGET_OS:
TARGET_OS = linux${LIBCEXTENSION}${ABIEXTENSION}
For arm architecture TARGET_OS = "linux-gnueabi". However for aarch64
architecture TARGET_OS = "linux". As a result, in the case of aarch64
kernel package can not be named 'linux'. This patch renames kernel
package name to 'linux-mainline' in order to be able to maintain the
same kernel recipes for both arm and aarch64 boards.
