commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=f2a0e39e682ea7d27d1884e26a815783973a8717
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2025.08.x

When mjpg-streamer is built with gcc >= 14 using libjpeg (rather than
jpeg-turbo), and with SDL is enabled (to enable the output_viewer),
the compilation can fail with error:

    output_viewer.c:125:32: error: assignment to ‘boolean (*)(struct jpeg_decompress_struct *)’ from incompatible pointer type ‘int (*)(struct jpeg_decompress_struct *)’ [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]

The issue can be reproduced with the commands:

    cat >.config <<EOF
    BR2_aarch64=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_LIBJPEG=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_MJPG_STREAMER=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_SDL=y
    EOF
    make olddefconfig
    make mjpg-streamer

This commit adds a patch to fix this issue.
