[Buildroot] [PATCH v8] board: add support for Intel Galileo Gen 2

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Ray,

I've applied your patch to next, after making some small additional
changes. See below.

This shouldn't be part of the commit log proper, since we don't want to
preserve that in the history. It should go below the "---" sign.

Typo: partition.

Trailing space here.

The mkimage function was no longer needed, since you're only calling
genimage once now. I've simplified this by directly calling genimage.
Please verify my commit to make sure that it works fine for you.

Mixed tabs and spaces on this line. I've replaced that with tabs only.

Not needed, exiting with the return value of the last command is
already the default.

Why do you need host-mtools? I've kept it for now, but I'm not sure. Is
it used internally by genimage?

Also, it is generally customary to add a readme.txt in the board
folder, i.e in board/intel/galileo/ in your case to explain how to
build/use this configuration. What is especially useful is some
indication on which UART is used on the board, how to connect to it,
etc.

Since I've applied your patch to the next branch, please base your
future submissions on this branch.

Thanks a lot!
