I don't understand why it was named esp-hosted-ng, the upstream Github
repo is just esp-hosted. Yes, recent versions are "ng", but we normally
don't name our packages according to the versions, except in some very
specific cases (libgtk3, qt5, qt6, etc.). So I renamed everything to
esp-hosted (hoping I didn't mess up anything in the process) and
applied. It built fine against a vexpress_defconfig ARM32 Linux 6.1
kernel.

Thanks!
