bcm2835: new package
[Thomas: - addition of 'depends on BR2_arm' as suggested by Yann. - addition of a comment in the Config.in help text that says that this library is a pure abomination. - fix the hash, since apparently upstream changes the released tarballs after they are published. - fix license, it's GPLv2, not GPLv2+.] Signed-off-by: Peter Seiderer <ps.report@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>

+config BR2_PACKAGE_BCM2835
+ bool "bcm2835"
+ depends on BR2_arm
+ help
+ C library for Broadcom BCM 2835 as used in Raspberry Pi.
+ It provides access to GPIO and other IO functions on the
+ Broadcom BCM 2835 chip, allowing access to the GPIO pins
+ on the 26 pin IDE plug on the RPi board so you can control
+ and interface with various external devices.
+
+ WARNING: the opinion of the Buildroot developers is that
+ such library is a complete abomination as it entirely works
+ around the standard Linux interfaces to access GPIOs, I2C,
+ SPI busses or other IOs. The library directly remaps the
+ hardware registers in user-space, completely bypassing what
+ the kernel drivers are doing, and potentially conflicting
+ with them.
