 I personally prefer to use a git repository that includes the patches. During
development, I make a local checkout specified with LINUX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR; for
release, I point to the repository (often on gitlab) and specify a tag.

 BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR and BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_PATCH are basically equivalent, you
can specify a directory with the latter as well.
