Technically speaking, there is a beginning of support in mainline for
the RasberryPi. But very few peripherals are supported as of today, so
I agree that a Buildroot defconfig for RasberryPi should use the
out-of-tree kernel for now.

Could you add a board/rasberrypi/README.txt that explains a few things
like how the different images in output/images/ should be layed out in
a SD card, that the kernel image needs to be renamed, etc. If a good
online resource is available, you can just put a link to it.
Thanks!
