[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/linux-tools: add hyperv integration services

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

It is very difficult to reply to your e-mails, because the plain text
version of your e-mail does not properly quote the text you're replying
to. Could you fix your e-mail client to only send plain text e-mails to
the mailing list, and to properly quote the text you're replying to ?

I think we shouldn't list the dependencies of dependencies. They risk
changing from kernel versions to others. Just list that it needs
CONFIG_HYPERV and CONFIG_HYPVER_UTILS.

Indeed, I missed it. It should be part of a separate, preliminary patch
in your series.

Could you take into account the few comments that I have given, and
send an updated version of the patch series ?

Thanks!
