+ Support for all ARM1176-/BCM2835-based Raspberry Pi variants, such as

+ support BCM2836/BCM2837-based Raspberry Pis such as the RPi 2 and

+ help
+ Support for all BCM2836-based Raspberry Pi variants, such as
+ the RPi 2 model B.
+
+ This option also supports BCM2837-based variants such as the RPi 3
+ Model B, when run in 32-bit mode, provided you have configured the
+ VideoCore firmware to select the PL011 UART for the console by:
+ a) config.txt should contain dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt.
+ b) You should run the following to tell the VC FW to process DT when
+ booting, and copy u-boot.bin.img (rather than u-boot.bin) to the SD
+ card as the kernel image:
+
+ path/to/kernel/scripts/mkknlimg --dtok u-boot.bin u-boot.bin.img
+
+ This works as of firmware.git commit 046effa13ebc "firmware:
+ arm_loader: emmc clock depends on core clock See:
+ https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/572".
+
+ This option creates a build targetting the ARMv7/AArch32 ISA.
