As I said in my previous mail, I have adopted this patch. It means I
did some changes to it locally, notably bump to 4.1.1-1 and solve
the configury dependency, see my branch:
    http://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/log/?h=yem/linux-backports

I was about to send it yesterday evening/night, but I was really
exhausted after a long working day, so I post-poned the respin to avoid
mishaps due to tiredness. ;-) I'll probably send it this evening when
I'm back home (UTC+2).

As for the configury stuff, it will need another patch to be applied
first, to fix a breakage in the pkg-kconfig infra (my bad!), see:
    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/498333/

> Changes v7->v8:
> * Bump version to latest stable 4.1.1-1 (dropped upsteam patx to fix
>   build error - released in new version).
> * s/TARGET_MAKE_ENV/LINUX_MAKE_ENV (suggested by Yann E. MORIN)
> * Improve text in menuconfig (suggested by Yann E. MORIN)
> * Move fragments list after the base files in menuconfig (suggested by
>   Yann E. MORIN)
> * Add comments for nesting ifeq-blocks (suggested by Yann E. MORIN)
> * Fix indentation in Config.in

I will see to include those changes from your v8 into my own branch (if
I missed anything).

Thanks! :-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
