Again, you're implementing something completely specific for the linux package while the logic itself has nothing specific to the Linux kernel. So if we ever want something like this, we want to implement it at the package infrastructure level, and clearly not in some random specific package. I'm sorry to reject some of your patches this way, but as Buildroot developers, we have to maintain a good coherency and consistency in the implementation of the package recipes and the package infrastructure. And this consistency means that we don't want to implement specific things in packages that should in fact be implemented at the package infrastructure level.
