Maintaining bcm63xx is a nightmare due to the amount of devices and patches
required, since every board requires an individual patch due to the lack of
full device tree compatibility.
Moreover, there are a lot of devices supported on this target which won't work
due to not having enough resources (16M-32M of RAM and/or 4M of flash).
Therefore, any development efforts should be focused on bmips and support for
those devices with enough resources should be added on bmips target.

Bump the last missing target to Kernel 5.10. While this requires a work
around to boot it will allow more people to test the new Kernel before
the upcomming release.

Seems stable after 6 days of testing on some of my devices.
Let's switch to 5.4 in order to get more feedback.

This uses 5.4 as testing kernel. Since 4.19 has not seen broad
testing yet, just keep 4.14 as stable kernel until 5.4 is ready.
Tested on Comtrend AR-5387un (Thanks to @Noltari).

There is no such role as target maintainer anymore, one should always
send corresponding changes for the review and anyone from the commiters
is allowed to merge them or eventually use the hand break and NACK them.
Lets make it clear, that it is solely a community doing the maintenance
tasks.

This change makes the names of Broadcom targets consistent by using
the common notation based on SoC/CPU ID (which is used internally
anyway), bcmXXXX instead of brcmXXXX.
This is even used for target TITLE in make menuconfig already,
only the short target name used brcm so far.
