This change deprecates the ext2/3/4 rootfs size in blocks symbol in
favor of one that mimic the fs-size argument behavior of mkfs (i.e.
size in a human readable format accepting k, m, g or t suffix or their
upper-case variants).
This change also updates the defconfigs that used to set
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_BLOCKS symbol.

It turns out that linux-4.9-rc3 has all that is needed for the NanoPi
NEO, so use that rather than the franken-kernel I assembled.

The FriendlyARM Nanopi NEO is a 4x4cm² board with an Allwiner H3 SoC:
- quad-core Cortex-A7 @1.2GHz
- 256 or 512MiB of DDR
- uSDCard as only storage option
- 3x USB 2.0 host (one socket, two on expansion pin-holes)
- 1x USB 2.0 OTG (also used as power source)
- 10/100 etehrnet MAC
- GPIOs, SPI, I2c...
Support for the Nanopi NEO in U-Boot and Linux is very recent, so much
so that we have to use an -rc tag for U-Boot and a special Linux tree.
As for Linux, I pushed a git tree on Github with a single tag that
matches what is currently queued in the sunxi-next queued for 4.10,
based on 4.9-rc3. All those commits are from Maxime's tree, the
maintainer for most sunxi stuff.
This also means that we can't use the Linux headers from the kernel
being built (which is what we usually do) because those report 4.9,
while Buildroot currently knows only of 4.8 at best. So this is what we
use.
Unfortunately, support for the ethernet MAC and the USB OTG are not yet
upstream, but are being actively worked on.
The Nanopi NEO is very similar to the Orangepi PC, so I was able to
scanvenge most of its configuration. ;-)
Thanks Maxime for your help on IRC! :-)
