pieeprom-2025-07-03: 2711: Check for SD card overcurrent (latest)

* board_info: Use the Ethernet PHY address probed by the bootloader
  Use the Ethernet PHY address supplied by the bootloader in
  preference to the static configurations defined in start4.elf
* Check for SD card overcurrent on Pi5, Pi500 and Pi4
  Before booting, the bootloader now checks the SD power switch
  overcurrent signal. The overcurrent signal occurs if the SD
  card is damaged and has a short circuit which will cause it to
  get hot.
  If an over-current condition is detected the bootloader switches
  switches off power to the SD card and waits five seconds before
  probing the SD card again. This error is displayed on the
  diagnostic screen, the UART and the activity LED (1 long, 2 short)
  flashes.
  The check can be switched to a non-blocking warning  by setting
  SD_OVERCURRENT_CHECK=0 in the bootloader config.
* Add a new error code pattern for SD overcurrent
  Add a new error pattern (1 long, 2 short) to signal SD card
  overcurrent.
* Add support for a bootloader watchdog
  Add support for a boot watchdog (using PM_RSTC hw wdog) which will
  trigger if the OS is not started within the specified amount of time. The
  watchdog is enabled by setting the BOOT_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT=N (seconds)
  property in the bootlaoder config.
  The BOOT_WATCHDOG_PARTITION=P property can be set to pass a different
  partition number to the bootloader on reset if the watchdog
  is triggered.
  The boot watchdog is automatically cleared just before starting
  the OS and (optionally) enabling the kernel watchdog.
* Skip first SD boot if no card detected
  On platforms with an SD Card detect signal, skip the first attempt to
  boot from SD if the card appears to be absent. This can save over a
  second on a cold boot, and a little under a second for a reboot.
