aspeedg7: linux-gbmc: Fetch kernel source from git instead of tarball
Refactor the recipe to fetch the Linux kernel source directly from the
stable git repository. This replaces the previous method of downloading
a source tarball and a separate patch file.
This change simplifies the recipe by removing the custom
`do_kernel_checkout`
function, which was a workaround to create a git repo from the extracted
source. Using a git `SRC_URI` is cleaner and more aligned with standard
BitBake practices.
no fusion2 since all g7 platforms are in preEVT stage.
Tested: can build
