Some devices are produced and sold under different names. To debloat
the buildroot but keeping it complete, new variables are introduced to
handle different namings. Below an example taken from a recent PR[0]
DEVICE_VENDOR := Arcadyan
DEVICE_MODEL := ARV4520PW
DEVICE_ALT0_VENDOR := Vodafone
DEVICE_ALT0_MODEL := Easybox 800
DEVICE_ALT1_VENDOR := Airties
DEVICE_ALT1_MODEL := WAV-281
With this commit the buildroot is extended to take care of up to three
alternative namings. The primary title plus alternatives names (if
defined) are shown in the `make menuconfig` dialog. Selecting on of
devices automatically selects all alternative names as they share the
same profile.
A list of the newly introduced variables:
DEVICE_ALT0_VENDOR :=
DEVICE_ALT0_MODEL :=
DEVICE_ALT0_VARIANT :=
DEVICE_ALT1_VENDOR :=
DEVICE_ALT1_MODEL :=
DEVICE_ALT1_VARIANT :=
DEVICE_ALT2_VENDOR :=
DEVICE_ALT2_MODEL :=
DEVICE_ALT2_VARIANT :=
