mia26MAjFm 247e4ea01b kernel-builder: build + bundle NXP IW620 mwifiex driver
linux-ps5 currently ships no wifi driver — the PS5 onboard wifi is NXP
IW620 (not the upstream mwifiex), which lives at ps5-linux/ps5-linux-
mwifiex as an out-of-tree patch against nxp-imx/mwifiex. Users have to
clone that repo + run install.sh on the target, which needs gcc + kernel
headers and is a manual step every kernel bump.

Build it in the kernel-builder container right after the kernel: clone
both repos, apply ps5-iw620.patch, make against the kernel src tree,
install mlan.ko+moal.ko into /out/staging/lib/modules/$KVER/extra/
ps5-iw620/ with the NXP modprobe options + autoload conf. depmod -b
refreshes the index. All package formats (.deb/.rpm/.pkg.tar.zst) then
include the driver automatically.

MWIFIEX_REPO / MWIFIEX_REF overridable via env in case downstream wants
to test a fork or specific commit.
