cover meta-yocto-bsps: 3.14 updates and NAND support

Richard/Saul,

This series builds on the 3.14 update changes that were sent earlier to oe-core. It updates all the reference BSPs to the latest 3.14 SRCREVs, and enables NAND support on the mpc8315e-rdb. With this, we can now shake out bugs in the various flash filesystems.

Cheers,

Bruce

PATCH 2/4 mpc8315e-rdb: add the jffs2 image support

In reply to Bruce Ashfield

From: Kevin Hao <[email protected]>

There is a 32M NAND flash on this board, so it would be convenient that a jffs2 image is created by default. Also change the default image type from "tar.gz" to "tar.bz2" in order to be compatible with the beaglebone black and edgerouter BSP.
