Vivien Didelot 42f22d687d linux: explicit latest kernel version 
When setting BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_LATEST_VERSION, it is hard for the user to
know that this version is subject to change in the future.

Explicit this in the Kconfig entry text.

This option allows to use a specific official version from
kernel.org, like 2.6.x, 2.6.x.y, 3.x.y, ...
Note: you cannot use this option to select a _longterm_ 2.6
kernel, because these kernels are not located at the standard
URL at kernel.org. Instead, select "Custom tarball" and
specify the right URL directly.

help
This option allows to specify a URL pointing to a kernel source
tarball. This URL can use any protocol recognized by Buildroot,
like http://, ftp://, file:// or scp://.
When pointing to a local tarball using file://, you may want to
use a make variable like $(TOPDIR) to reference the root of the
Buildroot tree.

multi-architecture support (CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM=y in your

# device tree name or the path to the custom device he uses, but
# the kernel abstracts this from us and only build an image that
# looks like a regular kernel image. In this case, we only need
# to derive the kernel image name from the given device tree
# name, and all the rest is as usual
# 3) We want device tree support, but the kernel requires us to
# build the device tree blob separately. In this case, some
