Even though there is not much ARM specific in this package (I checked,
it builds fine on x86_64 at least), I still believe this package should
be available only for ARM, so maybe add;

    depends on BR2_arm

Otherwise, I still amazed at how much length RPi people ar eready to go
to make things totally different from what is traditionally done.

bcm2835 is directly poking in the memory/regiters to toggle/read GPIOs,
when there is a prefectly working kernel driver that abstracts all of
that...

Sigh...

Yann E. MORIN.
