When you try to build a non-working patch, you will get your error message during the patch process. You should expect the patch to work for the kernel version it was designed for. You do have the freedom to test the patch on a later kernel, and for a range of kernels it will work, but don't expect a patchset to work for all future versions. If you want to use a patchset, on a later kernel than what is supported, then you have to manually adapt the patches to your desired kernel and then use the custom patch feature. BR Ulf Samuelsson
