Pardon, I've also noticed this Adam's patch to bump that has been rejected:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20200725230618.3640682-14-aduskett@gmail.com/

But I can't find the reason why it's been rejected. I've applied it and 
it builds after some adjustment without lvm2 for the moment, then I can 
respin it if everything is ok with a second patch re-adding lvm2 support.
