gr-bladeRF package add?

Looks very small but useful in that you can get details about the RFIC in messages in GRC (for example RSSI)

This would be a helpful module to add because among other bladeRF specifics the it incorporates automatic FPGA loading in the bladeRF source and sink gnuradio blocks.

I am a new bladeRF owner and the need to load the FPGA manually before starting gnuradio is unfortunate when the bladeRF source/sink blocks can do this for you when the device handle is opened.

The installation procedure for gr-bladeRF is well documented but unfortunately getting this going under radioconda/mamba is not. I have minimal radioconda experience; installation is likely possible but I'd expect that the customization might get lost on the next mamba update.

It'd be great to have gr-bladeRF auto-install with radioconda. Sorry if my newbie status is asking for something dead simple! If that's the case please just point me to the relative docs.
