[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] OrangePi PC addition to build root

I've applied your patch, after reworking the commit log. See
https://git.busybox.net/buildroot/commit/?id=d7327c69c8459adf0b878205e0a2ab63c60d02bd.

One possible addition is a readme.txt file in
board/orangepi/orangepipc/ to explain how to use/setup the board with
the result of the Buildroot build. See other readme.txt files in board/
for examples.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] OrangePi PC addition to build root

Eelco,

Your defconfig for the OrangePi PC no longer works. You used a specific
commit from Hans De Goede repository, but his branches are not stable
(i.e he is constantly rebasing them). So the commit
a516ac6dda21e6f5edceecd08b475b16e360656b no longer exists.

Could you send a patch to update the defconfig to use the mainline
4.5-rc1 kernel, which according to my colleague Maxime Ripard, contains
the support for the Orange Pi PC platform ?

You can see the failure caused by the current defconfig at
https://travis-ci.org/buildroot/buildroot-defconfig-testing/jobs/105029977.
Note that if you try to rebuild the defconfig on your side, it may work
because you have linux-a516ac6dda21e6f5edceecd08b475b16e360656b.tar.gz
in your $(BR2_DL_DIR). But new users using your defconfig are no longer
able to download this kernel version.

Thanks,

Thomas
