Thank you for the patches. Please amend the commit messages to follow How to Write a Git Commit Message, and to clean it up.
Please also write a merge/pull request description describing the problem, and your solution. For example, it sounds like a directory non_upstream_patches is used by default. This has to be documented.
Lastly, what do you mean by upstream? https://www.kernel.org? Please clarify.

@saiarcot895 please help to review |

It means patches that are not-yet or waiting to be upstreamed to mainline linux kernel. For a patch to be included in this repo, it has to be upstreamed in the mainline. This solution helps building the kernel with non-upstream patches (if any required) |
