[Buildroot] [PATCH] boost: bump version to 1.53.0

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Dear Victor Hiairrassary,

Would it be possible to use an e-mail client that complies with the
open-source community standards, by sending e-mails as plain text? The
plain text version of your e-mail makes no discussion between what you
said and what I said, which is very confusing.

Ok. This should be mentioned in the commit log, then.

Ok. This should be mentioned in a comment above the line that disables
the atomic module, so that we know in the future why it is disabled.

No, it's perfectly fine to have the atomic thing disabled for now,
since it wasn't available in Buildroot until now. I just want a comment
explaining why it's disabled.

Ok. But since you're not changing this, it's not necessarily your
responsibility to justify this, so we can leave this part as is.

Could you resubmit a new version of the patch, with more details in the
commit log, and a comment before the line disabling the atomic module?

Thanks a lot!
