Applied to master, thanks. However, I am really surprised that we have
accepted to merge feature patches in Buildroot. Clearly patch 0001
(adding keepalive support) and 0002 (adding a new driver) are feature
patches, and should not be part of Buildroot.

Why are they still not merged upstream? 2013.04 is soon going to be
four years old.

Thanks!

Thomas
