fbtft: Update REAMDE to slow down the stream of undesired cleanups

Browse Source 
Lately the enormous amount of some untested cleanups started coming
to a mailing list. This adds an unneeded and undesired burden on
the reviewers and maintainers. Try to stop that by clearly state
what we accept and on what conditions in the README file.

Download kernel sources
For new hardware support consider using DRM subsystem (see TODO).
From Linux 3.15
cd drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft
git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git
NOTE:
Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig: source "drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft/Kconfig"
Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile: obj-y += fbtft/
Before Linux 3.15
cd drivers/video
git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git
Add to drivers/video/Kconfig: source "drivers/video/fbtft/Kconfig"
Add to drivers/video/Makefile: obj-y += fbtft/
Enable driver(s) in menuconfig and build the kernel
See wiki for more information: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki

The driver is in maintenance mode, only performance issue or bug fixes
are accepted, which effectively means the patches must be tested on
the real hardware (the patch must be accompanied with the information
what hardware is that). The treewide changes may also be accepted as
an exception.
