[Buildroot] Patchwork oldest patches cleanup #5 (deadline January 19)

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

All,

Here is the session 5 of the patchwork cleanup. For those who haven't
followed previous sessions, here is a quick recap: every session we'll
be posting the list of the 10 oldest patches, with the original patch
contributors in copy. During two weeks, we have the opportunity to
discuss the patch, whether it is still necessary or not, how it should
be changed to be merged.

In particular, I'm interested in knowing if the original contributor is
still interested by the patch, or if someone else is interested in
adopting the patch and sending an updated version, or if the patch no
longer makes sense due to other changes made in Buildroot.

All patches that have not received any comment or attention before the
deadline will be removed from patchwork. This is aggressive, but we have
many 'dead' patches sitting in patchwork, and this cannot work.

Deadline for this session is January 19.

Below are the 10 oldest patches (obtained with a slightly modified
version of pwclient):
