yet, it can be enabled with this option

This patch adds support for the following computer on modules (CoM) from
Toradex[A]:
Apalis iMX6 Quad 2GB IT - i.MX 6Quad 800MHz, 2GB DDR3, 4GB eMMC
-40° to +85° C Temp
Apalis iMX6 Quad 1GB - i.MX 6Quad 1GHz, 1GB DDR3, 4GB eMMC
0° to +70° C Temp
Apalis iMX6 Dual 1GB IT - i.MX 6Dual 800MHz, 1GB DDR3, 4GB eMMC
-40° to +85° C Temp
Apalis iMX6 Dual 512MB - i.MX 6Dual 1GHz, 512MB DDR3, 4GB eMMC
0° to +70° C Temp
I've developed and tested it on Quad 2GB IT v1.1A and Dual 512MB v1.1A
CoMs, using Ixora[B] carrier board v1.0A, but it should hopefuly work on
Eval[C] board as well.

Flashing/recovery instructions:
1. Download and compile imx_loader for OpenWrt from
https://github.com/ynezz/imx_loader
2. Enter recovery mode as desribed in
https://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/imx-recovery-mode
3. Connect board via USB to the host computer, check that it's connected
by lsusb:
15a2:0054 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. i.MX 6Dual/6Quad SystemOnChip
in RecoveryMode
4. Copy following OpenWrt images to imx_loader directory:
SPL
u-boot.img
u-boot-with-spl.imx
openwrt-imx6-apalis-recovery.scr
openwrt-imx6-apalis-squashfs.combined.bin
5. Run imx_usb in imx_loader directory

replace all occurences of LINUX_VERSION with the cleaner
approach. future kernel upgrades must mostly touch only
one file. the only platform left is netlogic, because it
uses a intermediate kernel 3.14.16

The IMX6 SoC uses an ARM Cortext-A9 which has both NEON and VFPv3 hardware
blocks. This will tune gcc to use neon instead of vfpv3 which will outperform
VFPv3.

The OpenWrt build system uses MACHINE_FEATURES of fpu to set the HAS_FPU which
in turn sets the default of CONFIG_SOFT_FLOAT as well as uClibc configuration.
As the IMX6 SoC has both vfpv3 and NEON hardware support we want to add fpu
to the feature list. This will default the IMX6 target to use -mfloat-abi=hard
which will the be most efficient use of floating point.
When switching to hard float, we also need to enable VFP support in the kernel.
