Hmm, that was a bit large, yes.

You must split up your patch, it contains far more than just a new
board. Each patch should only add/change one feature in Buildroot.

I would also recommend that you get all the kernel and U-Boot stuff
upstream first, and then go for the Buildroot stuff.

Then it is better if you post it to uclibc.org mailing list, I import
stuff from uclibc.org, so eventually it will end up in my fork() as
well.
