Walkthrough

Adds three new board configs: Ayn Odin2 (GRUB), Ayn Odin2 Portal (GRUB), and Qualcomm Robotics RB5. Each defines board metadata, boot parameters (GRUB cmdline, DTB), userspace support checks, and multiple hook functions to install firmware, configure USB gadget networking, enable services, and embed BSP firmware into initramfs. Introduces release-conditional package installs and tweaks. Updates sm8550 kernel configs (current and edge) with extensive option changes across CPU governors, networking, storage, crypto, USB, and Qualcomm drivers. Bumps sm8550 edge kernel from 6.12 to 6.13 and adds KERNEL_GIT_CACHE_TTL.
