Could you remove those exclusion lines in .checkpackageignore. The 
intent of this
file is to exclude the check old patches without this "Upstream:" tag. 
This tag can
also be used to capture the reason why a patch was not proposed 
upstream. Here
the reason is simply because it is specific to Buildroot.

Here, could you add for example:

Upstream: Not applicable. Buildroot specific.

Could you add this tag on all patches, and send an updated version 
please?

Best regards,

Julien.
