  Now that we have BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR, I would prefer to avoid adding 
config options like this... Admittedly, for bootloaders it is more likely 
that custom patches are needed than for any other package. But even so, 
the global patch dir is sufficient, it is quite useable, and it reduces 
complexity in the buildroot core.
