20d3e236b2 bcm4908: add testing support for kernel 5.10
CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is a new symbol and has to be set to avoid:
Provide system calls for 32-bit time_t (COMPAT_32BIT_TIME) [N/y/?] (NEW)

CONFIG_RELOCATABLE needs to be enabled to make kernel start booting.
That raises a question: do we really need CONFIG_EXPERT=y ?

fcfa60408c bcm4908: add kmod-gpio-button-hotplug
All bcm4908 devices are expected to have GPIO buttons to make relevant
package selected by default.
This "fixes" triggering failsafe mode.

5e78cb9b85 bcm4908: enable target & Asus GT-AC5300 image
OpenWrt was succesfully tested on the GT-AC5300 model. It's possible to:
1. Install OpenWrt using vendor UI
2. Perform UBI aware sysupgrade
3. Install vendor firmware using OpenWrt sysupgrade

9b4fc4cae9 firmware-utils: bcm4908img: convert into a package
bcm4908img is a tool managing BCM4908 platform images. It's used for
creating them as well as checking, modifying and extracting data from.

It's required by both: host (for building firmware images) and target
(for sysupgrade purposes). Make it a host/target package.

95359dac82 bcm4908: add USB packages to the DEFAULT_PACKAGES
All known 41 BCM4908 devices have USB ports so it makes sense to include
those packages by default.

c578fdfc29 bcm4908: initial work on the Broadcom BCM4908 target
BCM4906, BCM4908 and BCM49408 are SoCs with 64 bit ARMv8 B53 CPUs.
Upstream Linux is slowly getting support for that SoCs family so it
makes sense to add target for it.

This prepares initial support for:

1. Asus GT-AC5300
BCM4908 based device (4 CPUs) with 1024 MiB RAM, NAND, 8 LAN ports.

2. Netgear R8000P
BCM4906 based device (2 CPUs) with 512 MiB RAM, NAND, 4 LAN ports.

Flashing info will come later as we learn how to generate proper images.

It isn't usable yet (it only produces a bootable kernel) so "source-only"
is used.
