commit 9e788cf3946e208dadb5a91700df996412d77b6d Author: Patrick Georgi patrick@georgi-clan.de Date: Mon Apr 30 21:06:10 2012 +0200
Add Kconfig options to handle the blobs repository
One option to allow using the repo (defaults to no), one to let boards state that they require it in the current configuration.
The build system checks out the repo if allowed, and fails if the repo is requested by the configuration but not desired by the user.
