[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] [V3] toolchain: control vendor part in GNU_TARGET_NAME

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Noam, All,

On 2014-03-04 04:51 +0000, Noam Camus spake thusly:
> This option allows to customize the "vendor" part of the

> <cpu>-<vendor>-<kernel>-<os>. Use this option in situations

I don't think Thomas provided a SoB line so far. You can't add such a
line for someone else, unless they explicitly stated so. A SoB-line is
binding:

Your patch is space-mangled: the leading tabs have been replaced with
spaces. Can you try to use 'git send-email' to send the mails? This is
known to work correctly most of the case, whereas some user-friendly
mailers (lie the ones from MS) have issues properly sending patches.

Superfluous empty line.

Add something like:

    Leaving this empty will also use the default "buildroot" value.

Otherwise, looks good.
