It's been a couple weeks and I've been following the mailing list, just
a friendly reminder, please let me know if there is anything wrong with
this patch, I've tested this and followed similar patterns found in the
mesa3d.mk and its Config.in.

We require H.264/H.265 support for hardware acceleration in our
gstreamer pipelines and would hope to see this support in some form in
a subsequent buildroot release rather than maintaining our downstream
patches.

I filed an issue about this today:

Kind regards,
