I think that's a pretty unfair ask. I could understand if the
patch(es) didn't apply, or were hindered by the new API change, but I
do not believe that is the case?

FWIW, I have tried to apply the patches Hans send me, but they don't
seem to apply cleanly.

Base is v3.14-rc1:

Applying: ahci-platform: Add support for devices with more then 1 clock
fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (drivers/ata/ahci_platform.c).
Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge.
Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
Patch failed at 0001 ahci-platform: Add support for devices with more then 1 clock
The copy of the patch that failed is found in:
   .git/rebase-apply/patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --resolved".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

Any ideas?
