The rotation part is the easy one, try

$ insmod /lib/modules/3.12.28/kernel/drivers/video/fbtft/fbtft_device.ko name=waveshare32b rotation=90

The automatic loading should work with the /etc/modules-load.d/fbtft.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/00-fbtft.conf
entries (do not forget to add rotation=90 to 00-fbtft-conf), but I have to take a closer look at your
buildroot config whats missing or is different from my one, needs some time ;-)

For the touchscreen try [1]...
