[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] board: add support for the VIA VAB-820 board

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Hello,

This generally looks very good, I only have a few minor comments.

I guess you meant "mounted /dev/sdX2" here, no?

"sorted betweek" ? I guess you meant "between", but even with this, I
don't understand what it means.

This is not needed.

Use instead:

BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_VERSION=y
BR2_DEFAULT_KERNEL_VERSION="3.0.101"

Compressing the rootfs tarball is not necessary.

Other than that, looks good to me! Can you fix those minor issues and
resend an updated patch?

Thanks a lot!
