Summary

Rename two drm/xe kernel patches under patch/kernel/archive/uefi-loong64-7.0/ to .patch.NEED_FIX so the patch driver skips them on apply:

  • 0002-drm-xe-guc-use-GUC_SIZE-SZ_4K-for-alignment.patch
  • 0005-drm-xe-query-use-PAGE_SIZE-as-the-minimum-page-align.patch

Both stopped applying cleanly after an upstream rebase and need a maintainer to refresh them against current upstream drm/xe before they can be re-enabled.

Not a behaviour change on its own — the patches were already failing the apply step — but it stops the noise in build logs and makes it obvious at a glance which patches need attention.

Context

Originally part of #9704 (misc build cleanup). Split out so the patch-status change can land on its own schedule independent of the DEBUG/Docker fixes there.

Test plan

  • Kernel build on a board pinned to uefi-loong64-7.0 skips the .NEED_FIX patches without erroring.

…EDS FIXING)

Rename two .patch files to .patch.NEED_FIX so the patch driver
skips them on apply. Both are drm/xe kernel patches that stopped
applying cleanly after an upstream rebase and haven't been
refreshed yet:

  - 0002-drm-xe-guc-use-GUC_SIZE-SZ_4K-for-alignment.patch
  - 0005-drm-xe-query-use-PAGE_SIZE-as-the-minimum-page-align.patch

Kernels that were picking these up need them re-based against
current upstream drm/xe before re-enabling. Not a behaviour
change on its own — the patches were already failing the apply
step — but stops the noise in build logs and makes it obvious
at a glance which patches need maintainer attention.
