Makes sense.

What about mentioned problem with patch rebase that is only required
because of line number changes?

In this particular case a few more lines were added in the file and so
"git am" fails while "patch" succeeds with message about offset like
that:
----------------->8-----------------
patching file package/pkg-kconfig.mk
Hunk #1 succeeded at 109 with fuzz 2 (offset 33 lines).
----------------->8-----------------

Is my proposal for resend is valid or you may handle it yourself?
