It is wrong.

Those are not Buildroot variables, but Kbuild variables, that you must
pass when running the modules_install. The fact that EtherCAT contains
kernel modules makes it not completely straightforward to package.

Do you need it right now ? I might be interested in helping package
EtherCAT, but I don't have much time at the moment.

Best regards,
