Series applied.

One thing that bothered me a little bit is that when the hash of the
tarball downloaded from upstream doesn't match the one we have in BR,
we gracefully fall back on downloading the tarball from
sources.buildroot.net.

This is good for users as it means their build succeeds. But not so
good from the point of view of noticing that upstream has for some
reason changed the tarball.

Any opinion about this?
