Python setuptools has removed the obsolete pkg_resources python module in
v82.0.0. This module is used by the binman command in U-Boot until
v2025.10.
Since the python-setuptools package has been updated to v82.0.0 in
Buildroot, the imxrt1050-evk_defconfig (using U-Boot v2025.07 and
binman) fails to build with the following error [1]:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'
Update the defconfig to use a more recent U-Boot v2026.01, to fix the
build and at the same time bump Linux to version 6.18.18.
