 Patches are not applied on a custom local source tree
(BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_LOCAL). The typical use case for this is when you have
a local checkout of the source code which is managed by something like git
submodules or gerrit or whatnot.

 If you want to apply patches to a custom source tree, use
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_TARBALL with a file: or scp: URL.


 Regards,
 Arnout
