- Why I did it
Add non-upstream kernel patches for the Nvidia platforms
These patches are not yet upstream but needed for new technology.
A flow to upstream them is in progress and once they will be approved they will be moved officially to sonic-linux-kernel.
Till then to include them in the build (not must) the build option INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_PATCH_TAR=y should be included
- How I did it
Zip all the patches in to a tar.gz tarball.
- How to verify it
Manually test
