In these are two patches upstream, then it should be two patches in
Buildroot as well.

Why are you doing those additional changes compared to upstream?

Like Yann said, we prefer to not backport too much stuff, except when
it's actually fixing a problem (which is not the case here).

Yann, will you send a patch that reverts your commit adding explicit RPi
2 support in the Kodi package ? This way we can have this for 2016.05,
and when a new Kodi release is done with built-in support for RPi2, we
can revisit this.
