8d24da1470 bcm4908: prepare to support TP-Link Archer C2300 V1
It's a BCM4906 based device (2 CPU cores). It has 512 MiB of RAM, 4 LAN
ports, 1 WAN port, 2 USB ports, NAND flash. WiFi unknown at this point.

Flashing is possible using CFE only, proper image will be worked on
later.

ef2cb8572b treewide: rename IMAGE_PREFIX/IMAGE_NAME to DEVICE_IMG_*
We so far had two variables IMG_PREFIX and IMAGE_PREFIX with
different content. Since these names are obviously quite
confusing, this patch renames the latter to DEVICE_IMG_PREFIX,
as it's a device-dependent variable, while IMG_PREFIX is only
(sub)target-dependent.

For consistency, also rename IMAGE_NAME to DEVICE_IMG_NAME, as
that's a device-dependent variable as well.

30651e6834 bcm4908: sort and wrap build recipes
This sorts the Build recipes alphabetically, wraps some long lines
and moves the DEVICE_VARS to the top like common on several other
targets.

4e1e18af65 bcm4908: build flashable & bootable firmware images
BCM4908 bootloader requires firmware with JFFS2 image containing:
1. cferam.000
2. 94908.dtb
3. vmlinux.lz
4. device custom files

cferam.000 can be obtained from the bcm63xx-cfe repository.
device custom files are stored in images dir.

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.
