Understand. More versions and kernel checking would be needed.
I implemented it, but IMHO it'd have to also require Buildroot toolchain
rebuild.

Yes, it fixes the issue. Thus no patching is needed.

I didn't expect the fix would be accepted in stable,
but it has been accepted (in the end it's a fix).

OK, we need to wait till kernel stable releases, update kernel versions in
Buildroot. But IMHO it still requires Buildroot toolchain rebuild. Or am I wrong?

BTW I'm waiting for it for iproute2 upgrade (originally [1] and [2], now [3]).

Kind regards,
Petr
