[Buildroot] [PATCH] configs: freescale_imx6ulevk_defconfig: Add alsa-utils

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@nxp.com>

Add support for alsa-utils.

Also select BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_WCHAR as this is a requirement
for alsamixer.

I think this one can be removed because it's already defined 2 lines below:

>  BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2=y						<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Thomas will confirm but, IIRC, Buildroot mainlined defconfigs only
define the mininal options to boot the boards and then it's up to the
user to choose the packages it needs.

Best regards,
Julien

Thanks Fabio! However, as Julien explained, the principle of Buildroot
defconfigs is that they should be "minimal" configuration, i.e
configurations that just build a basic toolchain + bootloader + kernel
+ minimal rootfs with just Busybox.

In addition to those minimal configurations, we have started accepting
"demo" configurations, such as firefly_rk3288_demo_defconfig. But they
should be a bit more "useful" than just having alsa-utils. For example,
firefly_rk3288_demo_defconfig adds Qt5 with OpenGL support, as well as
Qt5 examples.

Best regards,

Thomas
