So, this series has been sitting in patchwork for a while, and I am still not convinced we want to support something like this, and generally the feedback from other folks at the Buildroot Developers Meeting is that we should probably not support it. So, I'll mark the series as Rejected. If you believe you have more arguments on why this is necessary, what are the use cases, then we can of course always revisit that decision, since nothing is ever set in stone. Thanks!
