Again, suboptimal formatting is now an error in new makeinfo. Worse,
this looks correct, but the complain is there anyways.  Hack a fix,
killing a newline that make the parser report the error.

Hope we are done: nobody outside gnu is fool enough to use makeinfo.
Me excluded, obviously (see wr-switch-sw/doc).

Somebody decided that suboptimal formatting is now an error. So the
new makeinfo errors out when building gcc-4.3.6 because of
documentation details.  Idiocy has no limits, and we are are bound to
suffer for that.  I remember when "gnu's not unix, we have higher standards".

This patch prevents gcc documentation to be built when buildroot prepares
the cross compiler.  Bah.

/alessandro who wasted a whole day on that

This changes the flashing procedure, because the previous one did not
work any more now that the default filesystem size is bigger.

With this commit no jffs2 images is generated any more, and the
filesystem image is not included as a payload in the initramfs booted
using the USB tools.

Rather, the initramfs downloads wrs-image.tar.gz using TFTP, from the
IP address that replied to DHCP, and untars it to the NAND partitions.

This barebox version autodetects memory, but at installation time it
detects 8MB instead of 64MB.  This patch forces 64MB, like we used to
do in v2012.05 when no autodetection was there (actually, there the
pm9g45 harwired 128MB, but this had no side effects for us).

When porting forward the patches from v2012.05 to v2014.04, I forgot
this last patch, that allows flash-wrs to set a mac address in the
barebox binary.

the new barebox we'll introduce supports much more stuff, and is 0x63000
in size.  Thus, load 0x84000 bytes from dataflash, a multiple of the
pages size (0x420).

Most daemons write their stdout/err to /dev/kmsg, and thus clutter
the serial console. We'd better boot in quiet mode. This, among other
things, gains a few seconds of boot time.  Developers can always add
"verbose" if needed (or remove "quiet").

Both the buildroot and busybox config files are not hosted in
configs/buildroot/ within wr-switch-sw, where I expect to place
several such configuration files, at least to try different setups.

The name of the buildroot configuration file is not chosen using
Kconfig (but the default is silently applied.  If the user
provides a relative pathname, it is expanded to
wr-switch-sw/configs/buildroot .

Also replace the generated .bin in the binaries/ folder

This is a patch of patch applied to m4 library during buildroot compilation.
This error occurs with recent GCC version (4.7.3 on ubuntu 13.04).

Git revision can refer to the at91bootstrap repo itself used to generate
the patches (in this case .git exist) or to a parent repo (wr-switch-sw)
that we used with patches (In this case we need to pass git value using
exported variable) because no .git folder when creating the
at91bootstrap folder.

The script wrfs_mnt can be used for remounting rootfs to update the
configuration of the switch.

The flasher script will write on the DDR memory the value
content in magicstr. When barebox start, it checks for this
string in the memory. If the string is there, barebox
automatically boot the kernel from the DDR memory.

This patch has no functional change, it only changes the procedure for
easier modification of configuration items.
