bmips target is now more stable and it's time to start generating buildbot
images in order to receive a wider testing, which will be essential to replace
bcm63xx target in the future.

BMIPS is a generic arch that can be used for multiple Broadcom SoCs, each one
with its own specific drivers, so instead of having a huge kernel supporting
all of them, let's switch to a subtarget per SoC like other OpenWrt targets.

This adds experimental ethernet support for BCM6318, BCM6328, BCM6362, BCM6368
and BCM63268.
BCM6358 needs a different driver, so there's no support for now.
Working devices:
- Comtrend AR-5315u
- Comtrend AR-5387un
- Comtrend VR-3025u
- Comtrend VR-3032u
Not working devices:
- Netgear DGND3700 v2 (no idea on how the external switch is connected)
- Huawei HG556a ver B (BCM6358 needs a separate driveer)

This target has full device tree support, thus reducing the number of
patches needed for bcm63xx, in which there's a patch for every board.
The intention is to start with a minimal amount of downstream patches and
start upstreaming all of them.
Current status:
- Enabling EHCI/OHCI on BCM6358 causes a kernel panic.
- BCM63268 lacks Timer Clocks/Reset support.
- No PCI/PCIe drivers.
- No ethernet drivers.
