The issue with the current buildroot package is that the version of
kmsxx compiled and linked fine, but pykms.so contained unresolved symbol
when the meson utils option was disabled. You have fixed that, so we
decided to just bump the version as an easy fix.

Paul's paul to enable the kmsxx Python bindings come from their usage in
kms-tests (https://git.ideasonboard.com/renesas/kms-tests). If pykms
gets packaged in buildroot we could consider it. For the time being, is
there any drawback in enabling the kmsxx Python bindings ?
