currently there is no way to override the default CMDLINE,
this variable needs to be set only if the developer didn't set it already from
another layer.

Recent versions of the Raspberry Pi firmware can directly handle kernel images
which use device tree. The modifications made by rpi-mkimage are no longer
needed.

The driver for 8250 defaults to 9600. We setup it on 115200 to be consistent
with getty configuration.
The firmware can do its magic with kgdboc too as it searches and replaces
=serial0 and =serial1. So, use serial0 for kgdboc too.

The support for PiTFT 28 inch resistive touchscreen is optional
and can be enabled by adding below in local.conf:
MACHINE_FEATURES += "pitft pitft28r"
While at it also fix a minor typo in README.

Add basic support for PiTFT display by using device-trees.
In order get it working below configurations must be active in
local.conf:
MACHINE_FEATURES += "pitft"
- This will enable SPI bus and i2c device-trees, it will also setup
framebuffer for console and x server on PiTFT.

The rpi-mkimage tools are installed ${libexecdir}/rpi-mkimage within
native sysroot, where ${libexecdir} resolves to /usr/libexec. This caused
the build to fail due to recipe trying to access ${libdir}/mkimage. Fix
the paths to use an unambiguous STAGING_LIBEXECDIR_NATIVE so that a
proper location is used.

The kernel debugger over console (kgdboc) parameter is being added
unconditionally to the kernel command line but this means that the
kernel will stop and wait for gdb to attach in case of a exception
or when sending a sysrq-g key. This behaviour may not be what most
users wants that are not remotely debugging the kernel over serial
console so make it optional by adding a ENABLE_KGDB config option.

After '6392a63 rpi-base.inc: Use KERNEL_DEVICETREE by default' was
introduced, kernel versions < 3.18 might not be buildable. Since full
device tree support was introduced in 3.18 this change ensures that all
kernel < 3.18 will automatically disable device tree.

We use this to simplify the update process. Updating a kernel version will not
require renaming the recipe but only tweaking LINUX_VERSION.
Update kernel version:
- bump SRCREV
- bump LINUX_VERSION if needed

Add machine configuration file.
Change the kernel image name on SD card.
Use the defconfig for this machine (bcm2709_defconfig).

This is already a raspberrypi specific recipe. So this is useless and would
break other machines.

[RPi DT info] https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/blob/master/configuration/device-tree.md#part-3-using-device-trees-on-raspberry-pi
RPi bootloader detects a DT-ready kernel by checking for a specific trailer in kernel.img.
Using latest raspberrypi/firmware (firmware.inc) enables this check ability.
Using latest raspberrypi/tools (rpi-mkimage.bb) gives access to mkknlimg for adding the
required trailer to kernel image.
If KERNEL_DEVICETREE is filled in, the trailer is added to the kernel image before
kernel install task. While creating the SDCard image, this modified kernel is
put on boot partition (as kernel.img) as well as DeviceTree blobs (.dtb files).
If KERNEL_DEVICETREE is empty, this new process isn't operated, legacy one does.
KERNEL_DEVICETREE for RPi is really supported only starting from linux-rapsberry 3.18+
kernels, so as for now it defaults to empty (in machine config file).

Yocto style recipes provide support for application of kernel
configuration fragments which is achieved with this change.
For further details see the Yocto Linux Kernel Development Manual
ref: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/kernel-dev/kernel-dev.html
In addition .bb files are simplified to take a SRCBRANCH which is
used by the SRC_URI set in linux-raspberrypi.inc and together with
the existing SRCREV define a checkout from the linux-raspberrypi
git repository.
A default configuration, defconfig, is provided as a baseline.
This is generated from bcmrpi_defconfig, as used in the existing
recipes, and so configuration options should be the same.
To change the kernel configuration a new configuration fragment
may be generated, as explained in the kernel development documentation
above, and this file then added to the SRC_URI via a .bbappend.
Added some minor refactoring and removed some useless code.

When building against newer yocto project releases below failure
occurs.
| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_configure
| NOTE: make oldconfig
| make: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'. Stop.
| ERROR: oe_runmake failed
| WARNING: exit code 1 from a shell command.
| ERROR: Function failed: do_configure
Fix this by trying to adapt more of the standard mechanism
that exists in yocto, in order to build "custom kernels".
