[Buildroot] [PATCH] configs/mini2440_defconfig: remove defconfig

[Thomas Petazzoni]

This defconfig has not been updated in any significant way since 2011,
when Peter moved it to use a mainline kernel. It's now using an
ancient 3.0 kernel, and a vendor-specific U-Boot version that fails to
build with various "undefined reference" errors:

  undefined reference to `show_boot_progress'
  undefined reference to `image_print_contents'
  undefined reference to `wait_ms'

So it's time to get rid of the defconfig for this platform.

Of course, if anyone has access to this platform and is interested in
having a defconfig in Buildroot, it's possible: just let us know, and
send a patch updating the defconfig. Thanks!

The mini2440 has been added in u-boot upstream on 2012-10-03 (v2012.10) and
removed on 2014-01-13 (v2014.01).

I still have this board but I never used the u-boot mainline version.
IIRC, I've tested this board up to kernel 3.10 long time ago.
