There has been no new release recently, and the 1.0 branch is out-dated.
The 1.1 branch has not been release-tagged since the last beta tag,
but it still continues to receive bug fixes, and is relatively stable.
The next major release should be 1.2.0, but it is still in beta, looks
like it is focused on Android, and was only recently tagged.
So, we use the latest cset from the 1.1 branch until there is a new
release (either 1.2.0 or 1.1.0), at which point we can revisit which
version we'll use.
Drop our patch, since the problem has been fixed upstream (with a more
complete solution.)

Buildroot supplies a nice /init wrapper script to use when booting from a
ramdisk.
We add a patch to u-boot to tell the kernel to boot into /init (instead of
/linuxrc) on i.MX6, when booting in mfgtools mode. This way we can boot a
buildroot system entirely through USB.

This is very similar to freescale_imx6qsabresd_defconfig, which supports the
i.MX6Q ("Quad", quad core CPU) version of the board, except it supports the
i.MX6DL (DualLite, dual core CPU) version.
The differences are in the U-boot configuration and the device tree file.

This defconfig is specific to the SABRESD board equipped with the iMX6Q SoC.
Rename it for clarity in order to avoid confusion with the upcoming

I re-did the patches: one patch per change, patch configure.in instead

hopefully make the patches acceptable for upstream, or at least make it

The copy_scripts() method in distutils copies the scripts listed
in the setup file and adjusts the first line to refer to the
current Python interpreter. When cross-compiling, this means that
the adjusted shebang refers to the host Python interpreter.
As a consequence, we add a patch for python and python3 that
force copy_scripts() to preserve the shebang when
cross-compilation is detected.

The Buildroot manual was recommending following paths for project-specific
packages:
package/<company>/<boardname>/foo/
$BR2_EXTERNAL/package/<boardname>/foo/
However, if a company has several boards, it is often the case that some
packages are common for different boards. Therefore, introducing a
<boardname> path component is not ideal.
This patch changes the recommendation to:
package/<company>/foo/
$BR2_EXTERNAL/package/foo/
