Docker isn't really a requirement for such an approach, but it can
make life much simpler in a fractured IT environment.

We use the sdk build artefact from a common buildroot automated build
in our CI system without using docker. Having fast CI builds (< 5mins)
for our own components/device images and that no developer ever has to
run slow buildroot builds are a big plus :-) As there is only one
buildroot build makes tracking buildroot upstream much easier.

Regards, Stefan
