The previous versions of firmware including v2.10.4 had a bug related to
power management where the board would not reboot properly. Just when
the board would turn off, the voltage would drop from 10-ish volts to
5v. This would happen randomly and prevent the board from powering back
up.

Firmware provided in release v2.11.5 fixes this. This was included in the
changelog and I have verified it using all the compatible cables that I
have. More testing is needed to make sure that *this* firmware version
fixes it or not. But making this change because more community members
and/or testers use this as a minimum version and raise issues in regards
of this version.

We have set a minimum firmware version for the VisionFive 2 SBC to
v2.11.5, so now it is time to replace all the placeholders and
"finalize" the links.

The link for the file "sdcard.img" is deliberately set to the release
version v2.8.0 primarily because that is what I used to update both of
my board's firmware. Meaning, it is tested and works as intended.

If someone else from the AltArch SIG uses the sdcard.img file from a
newer release and confirms that they are able to boot it on the older
firmware and update the firmware, by all means, update the version
string on line 72.

Well, the final edits are most likely done. Consider this as Linus' equivalent of an -rc8.

Can anyone confirm if the wiki renders correctly with this PR?

I'm still open to comments and feedback before and after this PR gets merged!
