Dear Jerry Van Baren,

This might not work as git-am will complain about not being able to apply clean.
I may be missing something, but if you hand-edit the patches so that they are still valid patches, they will apply cleanly. In my hand editing, I cut out all patch hunks to non-existing (for me) files (from the patch's file name header to the next file name header). This is simply a delete operation so it is pretty hard to screw up. I also changed the file paths for all file references to libfdt.h which is simply a substitution problem, again hard to screw up.
"filterdiff" and/or "editdiff" (from the "patchutils" package of the distribution of your choice) may be useful tools for such tasks.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
