I'm not doing this with the specific implementation posted.  I'm just
saying it would be a nice feature to have.  Many device trees specify
processor/arch features and optimized cflags can be constructed from
this data.

I currently do this outside of buildroot and just provide
BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION on the make command line from the buildscripts
for the hardware.

It would be nice to have buildroot completely self contained and not
require the software developers to download the additional hardware
files.
