It seems a variant of this patch is already in buildroot:
http://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=63fbc1834f98f37cc43514f13cb75c1034dcf454
so I'm marking this one as Superseded.

These two patches are now Delegated to me, I will try to look into
them (but of course others are welcome to help)
At first sight, I think that intel-microcode could be applied almost
as-is, because in the current legal info there is support for
proprietary packages. Probably the exact license definition should be
reviewed. The first patch could be rejected for the same reason (but I
need to double-check).

I think the second patch can be applied as-is. The first one seems
correct to, but I will double-check.
There is still a problem with aliases in buildroot locale handling,
but this may be a separate issue.
I marked these two patches as Delegated to me, I hope to find some
time to looking into them (help is welcome).

Both marked as rejected.

As said: Rejected.

Feedback from Thiago is that there is already support for this package
in qt5, but not for qt4.
The proposal was to Reject the patch (and thus ignore missing qt4
support). I'm following this proposal.

Thanks to all who provided feedback!

Best regards,
