[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/rust-bindgen: new host package

[Sebastian WEYER]

Hello Thomas,

Yes, the kernel only supports bindgen in version 0.56.0 (released in
November 2020!).
Since the support for Rust in the kernel for now is only very rudimentary
and this is not the only difficulty (lack of minimum version of rustc for
example and lack of architecture support) I think for now it is not that
big of a deal.

Best regards,
Sebastian
