The patches-* subdirectories contain the kernel patches applied for every OpenWrt target. All patches should be named 'NNN-lowercase_shortname.patch' and sorted into the following categories: 0xx - upstream backports 1xx - code awaiting upstream merge 2xx - kernel build / config / header patches 3xx - architecture specific patches 4xx - mtd related patches (subsystem and drivers) 5xx - filesystem related patches 6xx - generic network patches 7xx - network / phy driver patches 8xx - other drivers 9xx - uncategorized other patches ALL patches must be in a way that they are potentially upstreamable, meaning: - they must contain a proper subject - they must contain a proper commit message explaining what they change - they must contain a valid Signed-off-by line
