This will no longer build after we switch away from k3-image-gen. Remove

For now switch current users of this over to u-boot-ti v2021.01.
This comment is not very clear - aren't you also removing that here?
Not here, I do that in the *next* patch :)
I usually sort my patches from least to most controversial, so the first
3-4 can be taken stopping here without breaking as much.
Would it be possible to preserve at least Beagle build flows intact? Can
the existing ti-sci-fw recipe that uses k3-image-gen be kept for now
alongside the new one, e.g. move it to ti-sci-fw-legacy or something?
I have found no such way :(
All the multiconf and deploy logic expects k3-image-gen and now needs
moved over to the new way. Supporting both would mean forking almost
everything removed by this series.
But on the other hand, BBAI64 and BeaglePlay only support GP and don't set any
additional multiconfigs besides the main k3r5. I feel like creating a separate
ti-sci-fw-bb.org with k3-image-gen might be possible. But I haven't tried that
myself yet...
The benefit is not there IMHO since the beagle platforms should boot
almost exactly the same on our TI tree as the bb.org version.
Moving forward, bb.org will also have to make this migration as
k3-image-gen will soon be deprecated. When they do, if we still want
their fork in meta-ti we can bring it back in.
The issue is that it will take time for bb.org to switch over to the latest TI
6.1 kernel and 2023 U-boot with binman. Moreover, they only support Debian, so
don't expect timely OE recipe updates. And in all this potentially long time
there won't be any OE support for BB platforms. But there are active OE BB
users here and I'm trying to find a way to not throw them under the bus...
This will only force them to use 2023 U-boot, which seems to boot the BB boards
just fine already. The kernel can remain 5.10 until bb.org upgrades.
