This PR implements a first basicely working Raspberry Pi 5 support which is able to boot into the main RaspberryMatic system and seems to work as expected with the following exceptions/todo:

  1. No U-boot bootloader / recovery system: due to no bcm2712/pi5 support in the upstream U-Boot sources, there is currently also no u-boot support like with the other rpi platforms/boards. That means, there is currently no possibility to boot into the recovery system, thus no way to update this system via standard update packages/procedures.
  2. No framebuffer console: due to the missing u-boot support and also potentially due to the stripped down kernel configs there is currently no framebuffer console available for direct login via a HDMI connected monitor.
  3. High carrier sense with RPI-RF-MOD@GPIO: Unfortunately, it seems that a RPI-RF-MOD rf module directly connected to the GPIO of a Raspberry Pi 5 does exhibit quite a high CarrierSense (> 80%) due to massive RF interferences. More analyses and work seems to be required to try to reduce this, thought.
