[Buildroot] buildroot support for OrangePI PC

I decided to do some work on the OrangePI PC and I have a basic Linux 4.4 setup running.
It boots, and I have serial access to the board.

Cam if you could share your 3.4 repo (and or 4.4 if it has better OrangePI support) I
can get started with this too.

Cheers,

Eelco
