Samples broke for 4 months now

[mryel00]

Your samples don't build, neither locally nor in your Github actions. Can you please fix them that I can use them as a foundation?
I useed your environment setup guide.

[martenschotanus]

in the ncs-playground/west.yaml file change the sdk-nrf revision from main to v2.5.3 and run west update.

[mryel00]

I completely forgot about opening this issue.
I either ended up changing the zephyr version or the sdk-version in the end, but to a version number, prior to 4 months.
The instructions for this project, or the west.yml should get an update, that a beginner on this topic, like me, has an easier start, and that the actions of this repo build again.

Going to leave a copy of the error here to make it a bit easier for any other newbie:

Changing the revision as per above allows build to complete successfully.

Why you don't have this in official guide? I faced with error when I follow steps from official guide https://wiki.makerdiary.com/nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle/guides/ncs/setup:

in the ncs-playground/west.yaml file change the sdk-nrf revision from main to v2.5.3 and run west update.

Thanks! Waste 3 day for this point. Unbelievable the MakerDiary don't fix it!
