I have already applied your patch. So if any fix is needed, please base
your new patch on top of the "next" branch.

But I did test the build of hostapd with the realtek driver support
applied, and it built fine for me. So I'm not sure why you say it
doesn't apply.

If things turn out to be too annoying because it breaks too often, we
might end up doing that. But it's obviously nicer for users if the
feature is integrated in Buildroot itself.
