There's one case when these patches won't be applied to your kernel -
it's when you're working on a custom board and you're using your own
recipe for building FSL kernel 3.10.17.

You can solve this by:
1. Place your kernel recipe in meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel/linux
alongside the Freescale's ones (not cool, but works)
2. Copy the patches in your custom layer and enable them in your
SRC_URI var (much better)

Kind regards,
Nikolay
