Thanks. The naming of the patch files as well as the descriptions are
good, but each patch is missing a SoB line, which we require. See
http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_format_and_licensing_of_the_package_patches.

I'm just not entirely convinced by this one: it should be the job of
the rpi-userland build system to check for timer_t, and define
HAVE_TIMER_T accordingly. It's definitely not the job of each and every
application to set that macro, but really rpi-userland's build system.
Also, could you submit those patches upstream? We don't like much to
carry a lot of patches in Buildroot, so the more patches can be merged
upstream, the better.
Thanks a lot!
