They must be named linux-*.patch. See 

	toolchain/patch-kernel.sh /home/open-nandra/projects/buildroot/output/build/linux-2.6.38.6 $p linux-\*.patch ; \ 

in the "test -d $p" case.

In your board directory, you can store patches for Linux, patches for
U-Boot, patches for Barebox or whatever, so it makes sense to keep a
linux- prefix, in my opinion.
