I did test your patches and found them working as expected. As you have
probably seen, I have sent a mail to Peter to ask him to pull these
patches quickly. I hope this will happen soon.

Would it be possible for you to write a little help text/documentation
in a comment at the beginning of the apply-patches.sh script? The
semantic of this script has become quite complicated, and some
documentation has become necessary I think. It would also be good to
update the help text of the BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_PATCH option? Maybe we
also need to change the U-Boot BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR so
that it is capable of using a tarball of patches and not only a
directory, and ditto for BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR and
BR2_TARGET_AT91BOOTSTRAP_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR.

Of course, all of those suggestions can be implemented later, and they
are not an additional condition to the merge of the existing 6 patches.

Thanks for your work and persistence,

Thomas
