[Buildroot] setting up directfb for a raspberry pi + waveshare32b display

[Lou Crittenden]

I can also confirm that the axes are reversed on the df_bltload by running:
df_bltload --dfb:fbdev=/dev/fb1.

I was thinking I could make an ads7846 configuration file at
/etc/modprobe.d/00-ads7846.conf (like we did with the waveshare32b) to also
include the ads7846 touchscreen device with reversed axes.

For starters, the contents will be:

options ads7846_device debug=1 cs=1 speed=2000000 model=7846 x_min=230
x_max=3900 y_min=200 y_max=3700 x_plate_ohms=80 pressure_max=255
gpio_pendown=23 keep_vref_on=1

I will see how this goes and edit accordingly.
