buildroot: move to 2017.02 release

The following packages that we ship have seen an update:

  busybox: 1.25.1 -> 1.26.2
  eudev: 3.2 -> 3.2.1
  ipmitool: 1.8.16 -> 1.8.18
  linux-firmware: a179db97914da5e650c21ba8f9b0bae04a0f8a41 -> 6d3bc8886517d171068fd1263176b8b5c51df204
  linux-headers: 4.4.35 -> 4.10.1
  lvm2: 2.02.166 -> 2.02.168
  util-linux: 2.28.2 -> 2.29.2
  zlib: 1.2.8 -> 1.2.11

The defconfigs for all platforms have been regenerated. The only change
was due to updating the kernel headers to 4.10. This brings them in line
with the kernel version used.

OpenPOWER Firmware Build Environment

The OpenPOWER firmware build process uses Buildroot to create a toolchain and build the various components of the PNOR firmware, including Hostboot, Skiboot, OCC, Petitboot etc.

Development

Building an image

To build an image for a Palmetto system:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:open-power/op-build.git
cd op-build
. op-build-env
op-build palmetto_defconfig && op-build

There are also default configurations for other platforms in openpower/configs/ such as Habanero and Firestone.

Buildroot/op-build supports both native and cross-compilation - it will automatically download and build an appropriate toolchain as part of the build process, so you don't need to worry about setting up a cross-compiler. Cross-compiling from a x86-64 host is officially supported.
