commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=ed5efcf57aa4e7df7d0b7731b568618637fc3510
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2025.02.x

This defconfig no longer builds:

  https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs/11012274139

It is using the unmaintained, not even LTS 5.16 kernel, which no
longer builds with recent toolchains.

It has been broken for at least 2 months:

  https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs?name=T%3Dpcengines_apu2&kind=BUILD

Unless a fix is provided, this defconfig will be removed.

Fixes:

-Intro
-=====
-
-This is a board configuration for the apu2 platform by PC Engines.
-
-https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm
-
-Since the apu2 does not have any graphical output, the default configuration
-will ensure that the kernel output as well as the login prompt will be sent to
-the serial port.
-
-How to build
-============
-
-The provided defconfig creates a hybrid isolinux image that can be booted from
-either an USB stick or a CD.
-
-    $ make pcengines_apu2_defconfig
-    $ make
-
-How to write to an USB stick
-============================
-
-Once the build process is finished you will have an image
-called "rootfs.iso9660" in the output/images/ directory.
-
-Copy the bootable "rootfs.iso9660" onto the USB stick with "dd":
-
-    $ sudo dd if=output/images/rootfs.iso9660 of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync
-    $ sudo sync
-
-How to connect to the apu2
-==========================
-
-Connect to the DB9 serial port of the apu2 board (either directly or through a
-USB adapter) with a baudrate of 115200.
-
-For example with miniterm (part of pyserial):
-
-    $ miniterm.py -f direct /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
