Added validation for IPv4 packet options in divert(4).
Fixed detection of qcpas0 driver on x13s when booted in ACPI mode.
Separated ssh(1) parsing of string array options from applying them to the active configuration. Fixed some cases where the config parser improperly rejected valid configuration.

Added support for attaching rkpmic(4) to an SPI bus. Added support for the RK806 PMIC which can attach to both I2C and SPI.
Added rkspi(4), a driver for the SPI controller found on various Rockchip SoCs.
Added clocks for the RK3588 SPI controller to rkclock(4).
Made iked(8) trigger retransmission only for fragment 1/x to prevent each received fragment triggering retransmission of the full fragment queue.
Bumped OpenIKED to 7.4.
Bumped libressl to 3.9.0.
Removed GOST and STREEBOG support from libressl.
Added mktemp(1) suffix support for compatibility with the GNU version. It is now possible to use templates where the Xs are not at the end.
Added mkdtemps(3), identical to mkdtemp(3) except that it permits a suffix to exist in the template.
Allowed fdisk(8) to add GPT partitions of protected types, making it possible to provision virtual machine images that need a "BIOS Boot" partition.
