I was wrong, it should be the opposite:

board/friendlyarm/nanopi-m1-plus/patches/linux/

See above. With BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR, you need one sub-directory per
package. So, you can do:

BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR="board/friendlyarm/nanopi-m1-plus/"

with the Linux patch in board/friendlyarm/nanopi-m1-plus/linux

or you can do:

BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR="board/friendlyarm/nanopi-m1-plus/patches/"

with the Linux patch in board/friendlyarm/nanopi-m1-plus/patches/linux

The latter being the preferred way. See board/beaglebone/ for example.

Best regards,

Thomas
