 In the future, please give your patch a version number (by giving the argument
-v3 or --subject-prefix='PATCH v3' to git send-email or format-patch). Also
include a changelog below your SoB, separated by --- (you can do this while
amending your commit).

 This should be in LINUX_BACKPORTS_MAKE_ENV instead of _OPTS.

 Actually, kconfig-package should probably do a default assignment for
LINUX_BACKPORTS_MAKE_ENV, but since it doesn't you have to do it explicitly.

 This would fit on a single line.

 However, ince below you're calling modules_install directly, would it be
possible/reasonable to do the build in the same way? It's always nice if the
different CMDS definitions look the same. So

	$(LINUX_BACKPORTS_MAKE_ENV) $(MAKE) $(LINUX_BACKPORTS_MAKE_OPTS) \
		-C $(LINUX_DIR) M=$(@D) \
		modules

 But if the backports build system does some extra magic (NOT kconfig stuff, but
other magic), then of course you shouldn't do this.

 No nconfig? Not that it matters much...
