[Buildroot] [git commit] CHANGES: add #163 + #473

[Maxim Grigoriev <maxim@tensilica.com>]

I'm concerned by the licensing of
target/xtensa/xt-buildroot-overlay-install, since this file states:

+# Copyright (c) 2003-2008 by Tensilica Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
+# These coded instructions, statements, and computer programs are the

This one has to be fixed, of course.

If you can, please, simply remove the copyright I'd really appreciate it.

I don't hove a write-access to Buildroot.
