Currently, the do_compile log is cluttered with dtc warnings that should only
be printed when compiling with W="123":
...
/soc: node has a reg or ranges property, but no unit name
/soc/gpu: missing or empty reg/ranges property
/soc/firmware/gpio: missing or empty reg/ranges property
...
This happens because we pass dtc flags via KERNEL_EXTRA_ARGS directly on the
make command line, preventing scripts/Makefile.lib logic from appending flags
that silence dtc warnings (all assignments done from within a makefile, to a
variable specified on the command line, are ignored).
oe-core commit [1] introduced the dedicated KERNEL_DTC_FLAGS variable to pass
dtc flags via the environment. Use this variable to get rid of the do_compile
log noise.
The md5sums of the generated dtbs for raspberrypi3-64 and raspberrypi4-64 do
not change with this patch applied.

Linux 5.10 series will be the next LTS kernel so it's likely to be the
new stable branch for linux-raspberrypi within a couple of months. Let's
get set up to test it now.

From patch message:
In some cross build environments such as the Yocto Project build environment
it provides an ncurses library that is compiled differently than the host's
version. This causes display corruption problems when the host's curses
includes are used instead of the includes from the provided compiler are
overridden. There is a second case where there is no curses libraries at
all on the host system and menuconfig will just fail entirely.
The solution is simply to allow an override variable in check-lxdialog.sh
for environments such as the Yocto Project. Adding a CROSS_CURSES_LIB and
CROSS_CURSES_INC solves the issue and allowing compiling and linking against
the right headers and libraries.

There is no reason to continue supporting pre-4.8 series kernels so we can move
the setting of LOADADDR to the common inc file.

This should avoid network traffic to resolve ${AUTOREV} unless this
recipe is explicitly selected as the preferred provider of
virtual/kernel.
