This PR completely removes support for the SDM845 (Snapdragon 845) platform from the Buildroot tree. Following the assessment that this SoC is unlikely to achieve stable mainline kernel support, we are opting for a full cleanup rather than a phased deprecation to keep the build system lean and maintainable.
Rationale
Lack of Upstream Path: The SDM845 has reached a point where community-led mainlining efforts have stalled or diverged significantly from modern kernel standards.
Code Rot: Maintaining the specialized patches, custom bootloader configurations, and legacy toolchain requirements for this platform creates technical debt that impacts the stability of more modern targets.
Maintenance Efficiency: Removing the platform reduces CI/CD build times and eliminates the need to validate core changes against hardware that is effectively end-of-life (EOL) for this project.
Caution
This is a destructive change. Once merged, the SDM845 configuration will be gone from the master branch. This aligns with our policy of prioritizing active, mainline-compatible silicon.
