23da43ae12 configs: add a DT-enabled Raspberry Pi defconfig
This is an example of a Device-Tree-enabled Raspberry Pi defconfig.

We have to use a 3.18-based kernel for that, but there are a few
limitations:

  - we can not use the minimalist RPi defconfig bundled with the kernel,
    namely bcmrpi_quick_defconfig, because it is not DT-enabled, and
    sets CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT to 'n', which prompts a value for
    CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET, as it as no default for the bcm familly;

  - most importantly, the rpi-3.18.y branch is constantly rebased, so
    there is no guarantee that the sha1 I use today will still be usable
    in the long term. Using the name of hte branch is not better either.

So, we bundle our own DT-enabled linux defconfig that is based on
bcmrpi_quick_defconfig, with just CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT set and the
Device TRee enabled.

0b0b352548 boards/raspberrypi: don't document non-existent files
Those files were previously installed, but that's no longer the case
since we select in the menuconfig which version of the bootloader we
install.

[Thomas: fix minor typo in commit log.]

fae5ac30f0 raspberrypi: tweak readme
Make the readme.txt for the raspberrypi board less misleading regarding the
kernel image file name.

094d8ec896 configs: rename rpi_defconfig for consistency
We name all of our boards and defconfig files based on the boards
fullname, not a nickname or a shortname.

'rpi' is short for Raspberry Pi, so name all our Raspberry Pi ressource
with 'raspberrypi' instead of 'rpi'.

This should also help Buildroot-newcomers to recognise Raspberry Pi
related files (defconfig and board doc).

1eb716f749 configs: add RaspberryPi defconfig
This is a default configuration for the RaspberryPi, tested and functional.

The kernel used is the one developped by the RaspberryPi foundation as
it's not fully supported currently in mainline kernel.  The configuration
used for the kernel is the default bcmrpi.

For more info, please find board/raspberrypi/readme.txt

[Peter: minor README tweaks, rename to readme.txt]
