@zhaosongzs I don't know who to address here. I can't create an issue for this PR as I don't have an OpenJDK account. I'm also awaiting OCA.

Hi all, the buildroot people have merged this functionality upstream (https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/commit/3dd73c30d387b235589275bad729e66619d062c3). Is it also possible to handle this PR here?
