[Buildroot] Naming convention for patches

Hi All,

In 9.8. Adding project-specific patches:
"Otherwise, patch files matching <packagename>-*.patch are applied in
alphabetical order."

This naming convention has been changed in buildroot, so we can use
the name provided by git format-patch (i.e., without prefixing it by
the package name).
Is this pattern still required for patches inside
BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR, or is it simply a mistake from the
documentation?

Thanks.
