Adrian Schmutzler 7d7aa2fd92 brcm2708: rename target to bcm27xx
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.

Despite, since subtargets range from bcm2708 to bcm2711, it seems
appropriate to use bcm27xx instead of bcm2708 (again, as already done
for BOARDNAME).

This also renames the packages brcm2708-userland and brcm2708-gpu-fw.

Subject: [PATCH] net: lan78xx: Disable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO)
TSO seems to be having issues when packets are dropped and the
remote end uses Selective Acknowledge (SACK) to denote that
data is missing. The missing data is never resent, so the
connection eventually stalls.
There is a module parameter of enable_tso added to allow
further debugging without forcing a rebuild of the kernel.
