Sorry for the long delay. I've applied this patch, after changing it so
that the entire process takes place in the install-target step rather
than the build step. The rationale is mainly that for statistics
reasons, we do some tracking of which package installs what, and this
tracking is done around the install-target step, so it is quite
important that the build step doesn't install anything.

Also, I've done two other commits:

 - One that makes a proper use of the WF111_VERSION variable
   https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=4389b88695ae01d0fd9e0ec69680b69c3d565095

 - One that updates the wf111 package to version 5.2.2-r2, which is
   needed for the driver to build with a modern kernel.

Thanks!
