Subject: linux: support a space-separated list of patches
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=55b0a375eaf32728573e3c852d8712267e5c7812;p=buildroot.git

linux: support a space-separated list of patches

The kernel being a component that often needs a fairly important set
of changes to be adapted to a particular hardware platform, having
maximum flexibility on the patching process is a nice
thing. Therefore, as per the discussions from the Buildroot Developer
Day, we add a mechanism to apply a list of patches (that could come
either from URLs, local files or local directories).
