The name of the board is indeed A64-LTS, but upstream U-Boot names it
pine64-lts so let's keep the U-Boot moniker.
This previously was supported using the SOPINE build.
The hack of using `crossConfig` to enforce stricter handling of
dependencies is replaced with a dedicated `strictDeps` for that purpose.
(Experience has shown that my punning was a terrible idea that made more
difficult and embarrising to teach teach.)
Now that is is clear, a few packages now use `strictDeps`, to fix
various bugs:
- bintools-wrapper and cc-wrapper
This build is compatible with PINE A64-LTS.
[dezgeg changed the original device tree patch to v4 of the patch series
"sunxi: sync H3, H5, A64 DTs from mainline Linux" submitted to the
upstream mailing list by Andre Przywara. Also install the
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin binary similar to 32-bit boards
since it's now being built by the upstream build system.]

These derivations have not seen any updates since they were created in 2010,
and some of their sources have disappeared. There are upstream configs for
these boards, so these are now used, and they build correctly. I have no way
of testing them, and I don't if anyone even uses either board with Nix anymore.

ARM trusted firmware is required as part of the boot process on some ARMv8-A
boards. Currently, only the RK3328 is supported in nixpkgs.
This makes the Rock64 u-boot image bootable.
u-boot only builds some architecture-specific tools, if this
architecture is selected in configuration. So a 'allnoconfig' won't
include them.
As they are pretty useful however, we'd like to have them in ubootTools.
This can be accomplished by enabling CONFIG_KIRKWOOD=y and possibly
more later.
Certain tools, e.g. compilers, are customarily prefixed with the name of
their target platform so that multiple builds can be used at once
without clobbering each other on the PATH. I was using identifiers named
`prefix` for this purpose, but that conflicts with the standard use of
`prefix` to mean the directory where something is installed. To avoid
conflict and confusion, I renamed those to `targetPrefix`.
