Looks good to me. For what its worth:

The tftpy package is a little out of date. There were some issues with
packaging / setuptools. I don't think it should make a difference to
Buildroot, but I've been letting the dust settle either way. I can send
a patch to the latest (0.8.6) if that's desired.
