[Buildroot] [PATCH v1 0/1] Buildroot on Macintosh Laptops

[Christian Stewart]

This patch series adds the mbpfan macbook pro fan controller daemon.

I have successfully compiled and run Buildroot on my MacBook Pro 2013 Retina
laptop. Additionally, I've achieved the following interesting points:

 - Docker
 - Inside an automatically configured container per-user:
   - X server
   - Plasma Desktop
   - Systemd 

If anyone is interested in the above, I am available to answer questions at this
early stage, and plan to publish more configuration files at a later date. If
you are interested in running Buildroot on a Mac laptop:

 1. Boot to recovery partition (Command-R)
 2. Create a new partition for the Buildroot setup
 3. Flash a ext4 image of the Buildroot root filesystem to the partition.
 4. Install refind with refind-install.sh --all-drivers

If building a system as a kernel + initrd (as SkiffOS does), you can simply copy
two files to the partition - the initrd and the bzImage.

Configurations for the kernel, buildroot, and all other necessary details can be
found at: https://github.com/paralin/SkiffOS/tree/master/configs/apple/macbook
