e25c603211 board/minnowboard-max: Add a X-based graphical defconfig
This commit adds a new defconfig to build a X-based
graphical system for the Minnowboard MAX board.

  * The 'openbox' windows manager is chosen because it's simple
    and lightweigth.

  * Basic X apps are enabled (such as xrandr, xterm), so we
    can at least get a console and change video mode.

  * ALSA default configuration is provided, so HDMI audio
    works out-of-the-box.

  * OpenGL is supported.

Tested on Minnoboard Turot (which is Minnowboard Max compatible).

[Peter: drop unneeded/specific toolchain config options]

2fbd5b1f04 board/minnowboard-max: Add more peripherals and features to the kernel
This commit enables support for:
  * HDMI audio
  * Support for user-provided EDID firmware
    (useful to workaround broken monitors)
  * Evdev interface
  * System V IPC (required by ALSA)

The options make the system more useful.

5c084e9519 board/minnowboard: Unify Minnowboard and Minnowboard MAX boards
Given Minnowboard and Minnowboard MAX boards are very similar,
it's desirable to unify the support for them.

This commit does the following:

  1) Remove Minnowboard MAX's genimage.cfg, post-build.sh
     and post-image.sh. These are identical to Minnowboard's.

  2) Move Minnowboard MAX's linux config, and rename it.

     It would be lovely to have a single kernel config file.
     The kernel size penalty involved in adding support for
     all the peripherals on both boards is small enough to
     justify this.

     However, the original Minnowboard has some GPIO buttons
     that need to be registered by the kernel. This is not
     upstreamed, and hence we need to use the yocto v3.8 kernel
     to have this support.

  3) Rename each grub config to grub-{board}.cfg.

  4) Modify (the now unique) post-build script to use
     a different grub config, according to the board.

  5) Update both defconfigs, as per the above changes.

  6) Finally, update the readme.txt.

54ec0e2a74 board/minnowboard: Rework to generate SD card image
Let's rework the board and config files to use genimage
to generate the SD card image directly.

60714bb2ed trivial: fix typo 'informations'
In English, unlike in French, almost all usages of the word 'information'
are uncountable, meaning that 'informations' is invalid.
This patch fixes this typo throughout the tree, except in CHANGES and
docs/news.html (historic text).
