mainline: switch edge to 7.2 stable on various families

[EvilOlaf]

Description

• bump edge to 7.2 for rockchip64, meson64 and both uefi variants
• bump bleedingedge to unreleased 7.3 for the same families
• copy over the relevant bleedingedge configs over the edge ones
• generify a function name on mainline-kernel.conf.sh to slightly reduce effort when bump through rc kernels

How Has This Been Tested?

• no tests yet, kernel.org is lagging behind, hence sources cannot be pulled

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for newer wireless, Ethernet, PHY, USB, display, storage, input, and cryptographic drivers across selected hardware targets.
  • Updated mainline release-candidate handling to Linux 7.3-rc1.

• Enhancements

  • Updated Edge kernel branches to Linux 7.2 and bleeding-edge branches to Linux 7.3.
  • Refreshed kernel configurations by removing obsolete or unsupported options and aligning settings with newer kernel releases.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR advances edge kernel mappings and mainline release-candidate handling to the 7.2/7.3 cycle. It refreshes Meson64, Rockchip64, UEFI arm64, and UEFI x86 generated configurations by removing obsolete options, adding drivers, and reordering retained settings.

Changes

Kernel version and source selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Kernel version mappings and release-candidate fallback config/sources/families/include/*.inc, config/sources/mainline-kernel.conf.sh	Edge mappings now use kernel 7.2. Bleedingedge mappings now use 7.3. Mainline fallback handling now targets v7.3-rc1.
Meson64 and Rockchip64 edge defconfigs config/kernel/linux-meson64-edge.config, config/kernel/linux-rockchip64-edge.config	Generated markers advance to 7.2. Obsolete options are removed. Wireless, panel, joystick, and crypto settings are reordered or updated.
UEFI arm64 edge defconfig config/kernel/linux-uefi-arm64-edge.config	The configuration removes legacy drivers, adds RTL wireless and Intel Keem Bay modules, updates USB and PHY settings, and refreshes crypto options.
UEFI x86 edge subsystem configuration config/kernel/linux-uefi-x86-edge.config	The configuration updates memory settings, removes obsolete networking and device options, adds RTL wireless modules, and adjusts USB, PHY, DMA-BUF, filesystem, and interconnect settings.
UEFI x86 edge crypto configuration config/kernel/linux-uefi-x86-edge.config	CRC32C and compression entries are reordered. Obsolete cryptographic algorithms and acceleration settings are removed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 933d0

The 7.2 kernel configuration update removes NTFS3 support settings from the UEFI x86 overlay, which may disable NTFS3 filesystem features for affected builds. The change is localized and mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to restore the settings or confirm that the feature loss is intentional.

Restore the NTFS3 settings.

The 7.2 regeneration removed CONFIG_NTFS3_FS, CONFIG_NTFS3_LZX_XPRESS, and CONFIG_NTFS3_FS_POSIX_ACL while retaining only the legacy CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m. Restore the previous settings unless this feature loss is intentional.
