Cool!

Yes, indeed. Unfortunately, when calculating this tradeoff, a lot of
people/companies forget that by not upgrading, they lose community
support. And this support might prove to be very useful :)

I don't know if it would be really useful, because it's unlikely that
people having the same problem as you will find your patch amongst the
myriad of patches that are being sent to the Buildroot mailing list :-)
