[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=8062700e2d48f2914638755961bea6a56f1d5d8f
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Due to excessive spamming on Freenode, the IRC channel is currently
restricted to registered users. Since this may not be obvious for
people not familiar with IRC, let's mention it on our website, with a
link to the relevant documentation.
