Hi Also works, but it gives long lines in the menu if you have more than 5 patches that have relative path's. (eg board/karo/tx53/linux-3.4.58/firmware.patch ......)

Note that there is a small bug, if you make a mistake in your 'series' file, buildroot will just silently ignore mis-typed patch names.
