[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-arm-extra][PATCH] gk802: Add initial support

[Dmitriy B.]

Hi Matthias,

Some time ago me and guys interested in GK802 started the imx6-dongle
project - https://github.com/imx6-dongle You probably using kernel from
there.
It kinda stuck right now because the wave of interest in GK802 already
passed and guys with skills already done everything with it and lost
interest. If you want to have access to imx6-dongle repos - I can add you,
or merge your pull requests.
There a couple of things left to do - for example - port our hardware
support to 4.0.0 BSP or to 3.5.7 kernel in future.

Same also can be applied to anyone who wants to work on GK802 - you are
welcome.

Best Regards
Dmitriy Beykun
