The ssdp-responder in Infix refreshes it's interfaces every five seconds. On low-powered devices, like qemu-system-aarch64 used for make run, this cause intermittent overloads that cause watchdog reboot in some cases.

In customer br2-externals I've disabled ssdpd from factory-config pending a local upgrade of that package in Infix.

Counter-proposal: drop SSDP from all builds since it seems mDNS-SD works just fine in Windows 10 (since build 1703) and 11. Only downside is that we do not get a cute InternetGatewayDevice icon pop up in every Windows user's Explorer. On the plus side we can have a single guide for setup and access to Infix devices.

AFK meeting with team members agree on removal is better option.

mDNS-SD was added in Windows 10 Creators Update[1] (build 1703), relased
April 11, 2017.  This makes SSDP no longer critical for finding an Infix
device in Windows, both ping infix-01-02-03.local and using Chrome work.

Since all major operating systems now support mDNS-SD[2] we've decided
to standardize on that and LLDP for Infix and its derivatives.  Other
reasons for dropping it include, but is not limited to: lack of IPv6 in
the implementation we use, and potential security implications[3].
