Regarding touchscreen support, I would like to say that if it's
composed of kernel patches, then Buildroot's policy is to not carry
patches adding new features to upstream packages. We do not want to
replace upstream projects, and strongly recommend to contribute those
new features to the relevant upstream projects.
Of course, in the case of the RPi platform, the situation is quite sad,
because there is a huge disconnection between the real upstream Linux
kernel, and what the RPi community is providing as the kernel
supporting the RPi platform. But despite that, I don't see why we
should break our rule to not carry feature patches in Buildroot.
Best regards,
Thomas
