[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] wandboard: Make explicit that a ext4 rootfs is used

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@nxp.com>

Make explicit that a ext4 rootfs is used.

As explained by Thomas Petazzoni:

"the ext4 filesystem is already used.
Indeed, the ext4 image is a symlink to the ext2 image, and the ext2
image is in fact an ext4 image:

-rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 3763200 sept. 11 21:54 rootfs.ext2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 thomas thomas      11 sept. 11 21:54 rootfs.ext4 -> rootfs.ext2"

Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@nxp.com>
---
Change sinces v1:
- Fix Subject and commit log to explain that ext4 was already used
and that this patch only make it more evident. (Thomas)

Applied to master, thanks. However maybe at some point you want to move
the wandboard to use the generic freescale genimage/post-image script
that I merged yesterday?

Thanks!

Yes, I will try to move it to the generic genimage/post-image script. Thanks
