+Subject: [PATCH] Remove installation of docs/examples
+
+They get installed in the wrong directory, i.e if DESTDIR is
+/path/to/output/target, they will be installed in
+/path/to/output/target./examples and /path/to/output/target./docs.
+
+Since we don't need docs and examples in Buildroot anyway, simply get
+rid of them.
