Ah that is a good catch, if they are changing we'll have to integrate
this again soon.  I'd suggest putting in a ticket to bring visibility
to this .keep collision such that they don't keep it in the cmake
update.  Then you can reference that ticket as your upstream issue/bug
in your patch in buildroot.
