PATCH 1/2 mx53loco: update support

- update bootloader to 2014.07 with fslc patches
- update kernel to 2.6.35_maintain branch which contains latest fixes
- defconfig was then generated by savedefconfig which suppressed and reordered some items which explains the number of lines changed.

Tested on an i.MX53 QSB and an i.MX53 QSB-R

_VERSION has to uniquely specify a revision, so it must be a tag or a sha1 - And not a branch.

So use b3912bb8a4caf3ec50909135e88af959982c43ca instead.

make savedefconfig automagically removed the comments. I you prefer I can manually reintroduce them.

then the help is misleading as it says (for BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION and for BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION) :

Ahh yes, I'll fix that. The problem about using a branch is that the downloading infrastructure thinks the branch name uniquely identifies the code, so it will only download it once even if more commits are pushed to the branch later.

Since we're using 2.6.35, the kernel headers of the toolchain should also be fixed to 2.6.35, otherwise we're using 3.17 by default which may cause some issues.
