This issue only applies to kernels built with CONFIG_THUMB2=y, so reword the
comment to make that more clear.

Commit f13477b (linux: config.in: add comment for Arm Cortex-M) added a
comment so that the user that the linux kernel may miscompile with
binutils 2.29+, when the target is an armv7m CPU.
However, the real trigger is a compilation in thumb2 mode, which happens
to be the only option for armv7m CPUs.
We can't know whether the kernel will be built in arm or thumb2 mode,
though, because we do not have that information: it is only available in
the Linux' .config file, which we don;t have access to at the time we
run our menuconfig.
So, relax the conditions under which the comment is made, so that it
appears as soon as binutils are >= 2.29 (i.e. not 2.28, which is the
oldest we support) for ARM CPUs.

This reverts commit cbe43fd417.
Now that the binutils default has been changed for ARMv7M, this is no longer
needed.

When binutils > 2.28 are selected on Arm Cortex-M cpu,
linux kernel does not boot due to a new implementation
of 'adr pseudo instruction' on binutils.

Kconfig uses either pkg-config or hard-coded /usr/include paths to find
the ncurses or ncursesw library. If ncursesw is found, it will include
<ncursesw.h>. Since Buildroot's host-ncurses doesn't install a .pc file,
and linux.mk anyway doesn't pass the pkg-config options to find the host
pkg-config files, Kconfig will always find the system's ncursesw.h.
However, since commit dde090c299 (linux: fix passing of host CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS) HOST_LDFLAGS is passed to the linux build system. Thus, if
host-ncurses was already built before 'make linux-menuconfig' is called,
the build will pick up libncurses from the host directory, which is NOT
widechar. Thus, two different ncurses configurations are mixed into the
final mconf program. This will result in serious breakage in the
rendering of the menus (lots of @ and question mark characters).
As a workaround (suggested by Yann), don't pass HOST_CFLAGS and
HOST_LDFLAGS when running kconfig commands. For kconfig, we should never
need host packages anyway. This way, the kconfig calls will always use
the system's ncurses and never our host-ncurses.
Note that the same problem could pop up for other kconfig packages as
well if we ever pass HOST_CFLAGS/HOST_LDFLAGS to them. We could force
HOSTCC=$(HOSTCC) directly in kconfig-package. However, for now there
are no other packages that exhibit this problem, so this can be
revisited when they do.

LINUX_DTS_NAME may end up with a leading space because of the += logic, and
may contain multiple dts files - Neither of which works when we construct
the {cu,simple}Image.$(LINUX_DTS_NAME) make target name.
Fix it by using the first word in the variable.

These three symbols:
KERNEL_ARCH_PATH
KERNEL_DTBS
KERNEL_DTS_NAME
are defined and used only inside this file, so use the LINUX_ namespace
for them instead of KERNEL_.

Custom dts files are still conditionally copied based on non existing
boolean. So it is currently not possible to use custom dts file(s) at all.
List of dts files is now iterated and files are copied into dedicated kernel arch dir.

Just use whatever the user specified in the list. An empty list means no
DTS was specified.
No need to add legacy option, as the behaviour does not change.

Some Linux kernel configuration options (such as CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC)
require building a host program that needs libelf.
Users who have libelf installed on their system won't see a problem,
but users who don't have libelf installed will get a build
failure. Therefore, this commit adds an option that allows a user to
indicate that his Linux kernel configuration requires libelf. When
this option is enabled, we add host-elfutils to the dependencies of
the linux package (host-elfutils provides the libelf library).

Some Linux kernel configuration options (such as
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING) require building a host program called
extract-cert, which itself needs OpenSSL.
Users having OpenSSL installed on their system won't see a problem,
but users who don't have OpenSSL installed will get a build
failure. This commit adds a new option that allows users to indicate
that their Linux configuration requires building host-openssl.

We were passing HOSTCFLAGS="$(HOSTCFLAGS)" to Linux. However:
- HOSTCFLAGS in Buildroot doesn't exist, and is empty, so this
assignment never did anything. The name of the variable in
Buildroot in HOST_CFLAGS.
- HOSTCFLAGS in Linux isn't used everywhere, and passing it overrides
the default HOSTCFLAGS value defined in the main Linux kernel
Makefile.
In addition, there is no way to pass additional host LDFLAGS in the
Linux kernel build system.
Therefore, we simply shoehorn our HOST_CFLAGS and HOST_LDFLAGS while
passing HOSTCC to the Linux kernel build system. This has been tested
to work fine with host OpenSSL and host libelf only available in
$(HOST_DIR).

For some boards, for example the Raspberry Pi, it's necessary to build
in-tree dts files as well as custom/out of tree dts-files (dt-blob.bin).
The existing logic made these two options exclusive, this commit changes
that to allow both in-tree as well as custom sources for dts files.
