Dependencies on a Linux kernel built by buildroot
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Some packages need a Linux kernel to be built by buildroot. These are
typically kernel modules or firmware. A comment should be added in the
Config.in file to express this dependency, similar to dependencies on
toolchain options. The general format is:
--------------------------
foo needs a Linux kernel to be built
--------------------------
If there is a dependency on both toolchain options and the Linux
kernel, use this format:
--------------------------
foo needs a toolchain w/ featA, featB, featC and a Linux kernel to be built
--------------------------
