Please run flake8 ( python3 -m flake8 ) on all the python files and fix all the issues we can. Some of them could be fixed by running black (python3 -m black ). |

This PR automates fetching and merging the latest stable‑RT kernel tags into the NI Linux Real‑Time branch. It includes clean repository setup, RT merge, kernel build, deployment, and driver rebuild integration using SSHFS and DKMS. Additionally it also include defconfig regeneration and PR creation automatically once the script ran sucessfully and also sends an email to notify the user about the result status.
Justification
The RT kernel upgrade process involves multiple manual steps and is error-prone. This automation streamlines the workflow, improves reliability, and ensures consistent execution across runs.
