Since commit
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/package/makedevs?id=410f9b60137820143caf51a2a37da6f8fa16679f,
you can use the permission table to recursively set the
owernship/rights of a directory and all its subdirectories/files.

Therefore, I don't think this patch is needed, and I've marked it as
Rejected in our patch tracking system. Do not hesitate to repost an
updated version with a new justification if you don't agree, of course.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
