I'm getting $ git am ~/tmp/of-fix.patch=20 Applying: TPM: Avoid reference to potentially freed memory error: patch failed: drivers/char/tpm/tpm_of.c:53 error: drivers/char/tpm/tpm_of.c: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001 TPM: Avoid reference to potentially freed memory The copy of the patch that failed is found in: /home/jsakkine/projects/tpm2/git/linux-tpmdd/.git/rebase-apply/patch When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue". If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead. To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
