[Buildroot] [PATCH] board/raspberrypi: Make it possible to pass "enable_uart=1"

[Rostislav Lisovy]

Use "--enable-uart" in BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS to enable
the "miniuart". This makes sense in case the
"--add-pi3-miniuart-bt-overlay" is not used, thus the PL011
is being used for the BT/BLE module and the miniuart for console.

 Thank you for this patch. However, the post-image.sh and post-build.sh scripts
provided in the board directory are not meant to be used for customisation.
Instead, you should use a config.txt file that you maintain yourself, and simply
copy it to the right location in your own post-image.sh script.

 Regards,
 Arnout
