My patch as it was submitted two months ago will not apply to the
current buildroot tree because of the other patches applied to hostapd
since then. I'll send the updated version.

There's no problem in rejecting the patch. One can easily get by without
it by adding local changes to external.mk:

HOSTAPD_PATCH += https://github.com/pritambaral/hostapd-rtl871xdrv/raw/master/rtlxdrv.patch
BR_NO_CHECK_HASH_FOR += rtlxdrv.patch
HOSTAPD_CONFIG_SET += CONFIG_DRIVER_RTW
