Support for new DemoKit boards t1000-k integrated
SDK default installation path changed from /opt/kontron/<MACHINE>/<RELEASE> to /opt/kontron/<MACHINE>. Modify your installation path on installation if multiple SDKs shall be installed.

The init manager changed from systemd to sysinitv
New distro ktn is introduced. The old distro ktn-eglfs is deprecated.
The new images image-ktn and image-ktn-qt replaces the old stm32* images. They provide almost the same functionality
A new partition layout with borootfs and userfs is introduced. The tools mptool and create-sd-card.sh are adapted to this layout.
libusb added
Minimal configuratons for SoM t1000 and t1001 added
Minor updates of tf-a, u-boot and linux kernel
linux kernel: Pinctrl strict checking deactivated for linux kernel
linux kernel: include driver for ralink53xx wireless usb
tf-a: writ-lock OTP location after writing and reread contents after update

An ongoing effort is to adjust yocto layers and concepts to share with kontron yocto imx products. For some parts this leads to profound changes.

This is a list of the most important changes:

Some layers, recipes and files renamed from exceet to ktn
The flash partitioning scheme changed from bootfs/rootfs/userfs (OpenST) to borootfs/userfs
A new distro ktn with sysvinit init system is introduced and will become the default distro in the near future. Distro ktn-eglfs with systemd will then become deprecated.
Only tar files are generated for all Kontron DemoKits. These files are the basis for mptool and create-sd-card.sh scripts for updating the flash contents by e.g. sd card boot.
The can package changed from 'can-utils' to 'canutils'
