+	  the RPi 2 model B.
+
+	  This option also supports BCM2837-based variants such as the RPi 3
+	  Model B, when run in 32-bit mode, provided you have configured the
+	  VideoCore firmware to select the PL011 UART for the console by:
+	  a) config.txt should contain dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt.
+	  b) You should run the following to tell the VC FW to process DT when
+	  booting, and copy u-boot.bin.img (rather than u-boot.bin) to the SD
+	  card as the kernel image:
+
+	       path/to/kernel/scripts/mkknlimg --dtok u-boot.bin u-boot.bin.img

+	  https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/572".

+	  This option creates a build targetting the ARMv7/AArch32 ISA.
