Also, don't I need to add a patch command at the end of those two commands as well? Something like $ patch < hello.patch ?

Use:

git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
git checkout 2015.02
wget -O - http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/473928/mbox/ | git am
wget -O - http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/473935/mbox/ | git am
make at91sam9x5ek_defconfig
make

Those are step by step instructions but like I already said, you should
probably read more documentation or get a training.
