commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=d856fc15c083876e2f96d5f8e0763e6c04be6c19
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
[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+.]

+ bool "bcm2835"
+ depends on BR2_arm
+ help
+ 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.
