[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] Added linux drivers backports project

From: Petr Vorel <petr.vorel at gmail.com>

I fixed things which were reported and keep it as a package. This is for first start.

Ok. Could you send me a link to the patch?

It's up to you folks to decide, if there could be both versions (package and extension).

Any comments?

Kind regards,
