This didn't apply either. So I tried doing it "by hand" and it looks
like you are not making these against the latest 4.14.y release (and
other releases.) The difference is in a commit that showed up in
4.14.58, which was released July 2018.
I'll take these as I've already fixed them up, but in the future, please
make them against the latest version of the stable trees, not the
"original" release that happened many years ago.
thanks,
