Hello,

Thanks for this new iteration! See some comments below.

We want the first name + last name in the From: field.

Generally speaking, you should look at some other init scripts in
Buildroot, to be more similar to what they look like.

Not needed.

Use printf here

> +		/usr/bin/cgroupfs-mount

And do something like:

		printf "Mounting cgroupfs hierarchy: "
		/usr/bin/cgroupfs-mount
		[ $? = 0 ] && echo "OK" || echo "FAIL"

> +		RETVAL=$?

I don't think there's any need for a RETVAL variable, just do exit $?
at the end of the script, like S50dropbear is doing.

This comment needs to be wrapped. Or handled :)

Also, we often put the start(), stop() and status() code in functions,
so that the indentation remains more reasonable. Again, see S50dropbear
for a pretty good example.

We want 80 hash signs here. Yes that's silly. But we like it :)

And also, an empty new line between this comment header and the first
variable.

Should be GPLv3+

You can use $(CGROUPFS_PKGDIR) instead of package/cgroupfs/

Also, your should add a .hash file to this package.

Thanks!
