We prefer to have patches locally instead of downloading them, because
the hash of patches generated by Github is not stable.

We have numerous patches locally in package directories, and changing
their commit log is perfectly fine.

See for example
package/fastd/0003-cipher-remove-aes128-ctr-NaCl-implementation.patch
how the Signed-off-by line and reference to the upstream commit was
added.

Thanks,

Thomas
