The size of the file config.txt is over 52k, and it may grows over the versions of the firmware. Even the deprecated options are maintained. This adds the variable RPI_CONFIG_STRIP to allow the strip down of the file config.txt to the very bare minimal: it removes the leading white spaces, the empty lines and the comments.

The firmware has a size limit in handling config.txt depending the hardware and it may prevent the hardware from booting if file exceeds it. That limit is not documented yet[1] but the links[2][3] mention about 16k. This warns if the config.txt is larger than 16k.

Hello maintainers,
The
config.txtis taken from repository and it is big.The firmware has a size limit in handling that file which is not documented yet and some say it is 16k.
This PR adds the variable
RPI_CONFIG_STRIPwhich strips the comments, empty lines and leading space (due to${RPI_EXTRA_CONFIG}) if set to"1".The second adds a warning if the deployed
config.txtexceeds 16k.Note: The worst part is that it prevent from the pi 5 to boot.
Regards,
Gaël
