I have found three issues with this patch:

Should be:
+else ifeq ($(BR2_i386),y)
Not
+else ifeq ($(BR2_x86),y)

Should be:
ifneq ($(findstring x86,$(QT_EMB_PLATFORM)),)
Not
ifneq ($(findstring x86,$(BR2_PACKAGE_QT_EMB_PLATFORM)),)

Finally whitespace formatting is slightly inconsistent for the 
QT_DEPENDENCIES libglib2, directfb and tslib

Assuming you fixup those three minor things

As a slight aside I have a number of Qt patches in my tree that I'd love 
to get merged if there was any interest.

First is to allow compiling Qt for X11 rather than embedded. This is 
involves a slight hack as Qt doesn't officially support cross compiling 
the X11 version, however I have it working well and have been in touch 
with Nokia support who say that although not officially supported it 
should work

Second is re-adding commercial support. i know we had this before and it 
was removed, however I'm stuck with some projects that have to use the 
commercial license. I have done it slightly differently to how it was 
before, it no longer needs login details to download the tarball, 
instead it just fails with an explanation if it isn't in your buildroot 
dl folder.

Other patches include Qt Declarative config option, more font config 
options.

If people are interested I'll submit patches.
