[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/2] Add linux-tool-tmon

[Markus Mayer <code@mmayer.net>]

From: Markus Mayer <mmayer@broadcom.com>

Linux includes a tool for thermal monitoring (linux/tools/thermal/tmon).
This series enables building this tool alongside other userspace tools
bundled with the Linux kernel (known in buildroot as linux-tools).

In order to add linux-tool-tmon, we need to first stop relying on
alphabetical sorting of the linux-tool*.mk files.

Currently, the build system relies on linux-tool-*.mk files (i.e. the
sub-makefiles) to be sorted alphabetically such that linux-tools.mk
(the main makefile for linux-tools) will come last, therefore ensuring
that the sub-makefiles are included before the main makefile. So far,
this assumption has held true. Unfortunately, linux-tool-tmon.mk breaks
it. Sorted in the C locale, linux-tool-tmon.mk comes after
linux-tools.mk.

To ensure that the inclusion order remains correct, the logic to
include the linux-tool*mk has been modified.
