Cassiano, All,

Thanks for your patch.

Could you please conmtribute it as explained in the manual, please?

We do not use the bug-tracker to submit patches, only to track

Hi Cassiano, 

Do you mind sending your patch to the mailing list?
This will facilitate review and discussion on the patch, and finally
integration in buildroot itself.
You will need to be subscribed to the list, though.
http://www.buildroot.org/lists.html

Thanks in advance!
Thomas

A better solution to this problem would be to strip the modules before signing.
However, this should be done in the kernel rather than in buildroot.
Please discuss the matter upstream, once it is fixed there, it will be in
buildroot too (when using these newer kernels). Thanks.
