Here is the obvious example - in use is what is patched:

$ grep MODULE_DESCRIPTION rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-4.2.fc24/linux-4.3.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc24.x86_64/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("RealTek RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver patched with [PATCH v2] r8169: Fix sleeping function called during get_stats64");

$ modinfo -n r8169; modinfo -d r8169
/lib/modules/4.3.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc24.x86_64/updates/r8169.ko
RealTek RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver patched with [PATCH v2] r8169: Fix sleeping function called during get_stats64
