[Buildroot] SDL2+directfb combo does not work as built by buildroot-2018.02.3

[Peter Thompson]

Now that I see how easy it is ... add file containing Sam's patch called

0001-hg-libsdl-org-SDL-raw-rev-751cdc74d55c.patch
to the SDL2 package

... I can easily submit a proper patch with signed-of-by to buildroot

Let me know what you would like.....
