Thanks for this contribution!

However, we don't really like to have "orphan" host packages, i.e host
packages that are not a dependency of anything else in Buildroot.

Do you intend to submit a Buildroot package for nanopb? Even if it's a
host package, it would probably be OK to have it in
package/Config.in.host so that it appears in menuconfig.

Thanks,

Thomas
