This option will re-use the same kernel sources as the one
that have been used for the kernel headers of the
cross-compiling toolchain. Having the same version for the
kernel running on the system and for the kernel headers is
not a requirement, but using the same version allows to
download only one tarball of the kernel sources.

help
This option allows to use a specific official version from
kernel.org, like 2.6.x, 2.6.x.y, 3.x.y, ...
Note: you cannot use this option to select a _longterm_ 2.6
kernel, because these kernels are not located at the standard
URL at kernel.org. Instead, select "Custom tarball" and
specify the right URL directly.

If your ARM system's Linux kernel is configured with the new (3.7+)
multi-architecture support (CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM=y in your
kernel config), then it is necessary to specify a kernel load address
when building the uImage. This should be a hexadecimal string
beginning with 0x, for example: 0x00008000.

# We have mainly three cases when it comes to device tree support:
# 1) We don't want any support at all. Then the ..DTS_SUPPORT
# variable won't be set
# 2) We want device tree support, so we need the user to enter
# the device tree name or the the path to the custom device
# he uses, but the kernel abstracts this from us and only
# build an image that looks like a regular kernel image. In
# this case, we only need to derive the kernel image name from
# the given device tree name, and all the rest is as usual
# 3) We want device tree support, but the kernel requires us to
# build the device tree blob separately. In this case, some
# more logic will be needed.
# The variable below address the second case, were you only want
# limited actions from buildroot.
