This package is needed as a dependency of lua-periphery. Currently,
c-periphery is automatically cloned by lua-periphery, which causes two
problems:
1/ It does not integrate properly with the download infrastructure of
Buildroot, making offline builds impossible since not the entire
source code is downloaded by Buildroot.
2/ It does not use the latest version of c-periphery, which has some
fixes contributed by Vicente to fix c-periphery on MIPS.
Introducing this package is needed as part of the fix for the
following build failure:
