Hello Joao,
Thanks for this new iteration. It looks good, except for one minor nit
that isn't very important, but worth mentioning.

It doesn't make sense to include a Tested-by from you on your patch. We
obviously expect that you have tested your own patch. Tested-by tags
(as well as Acked-by or Reviewed-by tags) are meant to be given by
*other* developers, after testing and/or reviewing your patch.
The other minor nit is that the title of the commit still doesn't match
the Buildroot best practice, which consists in using titles having the
following format:
<package>: <description>
So in your case, it should be:
vlc: enable to run as root
Both issues can be fixed by the Buildroot maintainer when he applies
the patch, but I wanted to let you know so you can make things better
for your next contribution!
Thanks!
Thomas
