Peter Seiderer d856fc15c0 bcm2835: new package
[Thomas:
 - addition of 'depends on BR2_arm' as suggested by Yann.
 - addition of a comment in the Config.in help text that says that
   this library is a pure abomination.
 - fix the hash, since apparently upstream changes the released
   tarballs after they are published.
 - fix license, it's GPLv2, not GPLv2+.]

C library for Broadcom BCM 2835 as used in Raspberry Pi.
It provides access to GPIO and other IO functions on the
Broadcom BCM 2835 chip, allowing access to the GPIO pins
on the 26 pin IDE plug on the RPi board so you can control
and interface with various external devices.
WARNING: the opinion of the Buildroot developers is that
such library is a complete abomination as it entirely works
around the standard Linux interfaces to access GPIOs, I2C,
SPI busses or other IOs. The library directly remaps the
hardware registers in user-space, completely bypassing what
the kernel drivers are doing, and potentially conflicting
with them.
