I'd like to share my experience with upstreaming an OpenWrt patch with
you.  Have a look at

https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8334

I'll excerpt the relevant bit:

  Change History

  Changed 64 minutes ago by Diego Biurrun <diego@…>

      * attachment libconfig.patch Download added

  install libconfig.h into the top-level header directory

  Changed 61 minutes ago by jow

      * status changed from new to closed
      * resolution set to fixed

  see r24199 - thanks!

OK, I admit I nudged the dev on IRC in #openwrt-devel on freenode, but
still, it took only 3 minutes to get a patch committed and remove the
workaround from both PISA and HIPL.

This was literally less time than it took to put the workaround in place.
So remember, this is open source, fix the problem at the root instead of
papering over issues with workaround after workaround!
