I don't think those last two patches are needed in the Buildroot
context, since all you did is use the modules_install target (by
way of the kernel-module infra) and firmware_install target (by
way of the post-install hook).

Sure, they are probably good for upstream, but do we really need
them in Buildroot?

Aha! It's funny how people will use the infras. Christian for his
rtl8821au driver defined a _INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS while you defined a
post-install hook.

Both are purely valid, of course, but I would prefer we stick to a
single solution for consistemcy.

I would tend to prefer your solution, Luca, since the firmware is
tightly coupled to the kernel module, while the _INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS
would be related to the non-module part of the package.

Except for the two unneeded patches, when/if you respin, you can add my:
