[Buildroot] [PATCH] configs/lego_ev3: bump kernel to 4.4 series

[Vincent Stehle <vincent.stehle@laposte.net>]

From: Vincent Stehl? <vincent.stehle@laposte.net>

Bump kernel revision used by lego_ev3_defconfig to the latest tag from
ev3dev, as suggested by Peter. This is a 4.4 series kernel, which has the
added benefit of not necessitating a specific gcc to boot.

We need a patch to create an empty drivers/lego/Kconfig file for the build
to succeed though, as the ev3dev kernel normally expects a drivers tree to
be checked out there.

Hi Peter,                                                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                          
Thanks for the suggestion. Here is a patch to update lego_ev3_defconfig.                                                                                                  
This boots fine for me, with gcc 5.4.                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                          
One remark though: the ev3dev project has a separate drivers tree managed                                                                                                 
as a git submodule of the kernel (!) I do not really know how to cope with                                                                                                
that properly, so I just added a patch to repair the build for the moment.                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                          
Do you know if it is possible for the `linux' recipe to have extra                                                                                                        
downloads like other packages do? But how would one extract the extra                                                                                                     
archives to the proper place then?                                                                                                                                        
  Maybe this calls for an additional `ev3 drivers' package after all, what                                                                                                
do you think?                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                          
Arnout I just saw your e-mail. Thanks for the config file, I double-checked                                                                                               
the one in this patch. If you don't mind I'd rather stay with a git tree                                                                                                  
(shallow cloned) rather than a tarball. Is that ok for you?                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                          
Best regards,
