As far as I can see, this is using the standrad Linux out-of-tree
external module mechanism to build the emlog module. Buildroot has
an infrastructure to help write packages that build a kernel module:
    https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_infrastructure_for_packages_building_kernel_modules

Thomas and I believe emlog should use that kernel-module infra.
You just need to handle the nbcat userland utility with the
generic-package infra.

Care to update and respin, please?

In the meantime, I'm marking this patch as "Changes Requested" in our
Patchwork.

Thanks! :-)
