Some Config.in(.host) files have constructs like:
config FOO_VERSION
string
default "1.0" if FOO_1_0
default "2.0" if FOO_2_0
default $FOO_CUSTOM_VERSION if FOO_CUSTOM
The dollar sign here is not needed and confusing, so can be removed.

The target for building the kernel with a cpio initramfs is not
calling the append dtb commands, creating a final kernel image
without an appended dtb. Instead it needs to call kernel make on
the intermediate target, then call the append dtb commands
to produce the final image as the primary kernel build target
does.

Initramfs compression does not make much sense for the architectures
that support compressed kernel images because in this case the data
would be compressed twice. This will eventually result in a bigger
kernel image and time overhead when uncompressing it.
The only reason to use compressed initramfs is to reduce memory
usage when the kernel prepares rootfs, and both the unpacked
filesystem and initramfs.cpio are present in the memory.
Buildroot attempts to force GZIP compression for initramfs,
however it doesn't always work because initramfs compression mode
depends on RAM disk compression supported by the kernel.
Thus, CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP depends on CONFIG_RD_GZIP.
If CONFIG_RD_GZIP is not set, setting GZIP initramfs compression
will have no effect.
Besides, the kernel also supports other compression methods,
like BZIP2, LZMA, XZ and LZO. Forcing the good old GZIP does not
really make much sense any more.
This removes initramfs compression settings from Buildroot,
so that the default value preset in the kernel config is used,
which is CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE.
If initramfs compression is still needed, it can be set
in the kernel config (using make linux-menuconfig)

Remove the OCF linux kernel extension instead opting to build ocf-linux
modules out of tree.
This is easier for users since no kernel config tweaking is required.
On the downside the OCF drivers can't be used, but then all of the
kernel crypto drivers are available to users via cryptosoft which is
preferred.
Also remove it from the menu to utilize a virtual.

Closes#5846
The $(dir ...) function leaves a slash at the end, so that the LINUX_SITE
variable for a custom tarball ends in a slash. The DOWNLOAD macro adds
another slash between SITE and SOURCE, which results in a double slash in

Fix this by stripping off the final slash from the _SITE in all packages that
have a custom tarball.

Newer kernels had a slight change in the random number API so the OCF
patchset requires a slight tweak to build and run properly.
Affected kernels are, per series:
>=3.0.41, >=3.2.29, >=3.4.9, >=3.5.2 and any newer version.
The fix is applied by detecting the API change rather than guessing the
kernel version.

the announcement of the deprecation of the architecture during the

This patch introduces some support for device tree-enabled kernels.
It replaces the former BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTS_FILE option that was
microblaze-only, that was quite limited. This option was quite
limited, first obviously because it was restricted to microblaze,
but also because it targetted only external device tree source files,
and allowed only to build simpleImages using the custom image name
mechanism.
This patch adds a much more generic one, that can work on basically
every architecture that supports device tree. It allows to build
both device tree source file that comes with the kernel source or to
set the path to the device tree file to use so that one can use a
custom device tree.
