Errors when applying patches

[ghost]

When trying to apply the patches from EZ-WifiBroadcast/kernel/ i get errors. I am using the Raspberry 4.9.35 kernel sources from the link, https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/archive/be2540e540f5442d7b372208787fb64100af0c54.tar.gz. I tried all the patches except linux-4.9.28-dwc-otg.patch since I am using 4.9.35, linux-4.9.28-brcmfmac-intwifi.patch and linux-4.9.28-brcmfmac-tos.patch as I dont need to change the internal wifi stuff.

Here is what I get when applying the patches...

The 3 that down work are linux-4.14.32-ath-regd.patch linux-4.14.32-rt2800usb-misc.patch linux-4.9.28-ath-regd.patch

Any suggestions or tips to troubleshoot?

You are applying the 4.14 patches to a 4.9 kernel ...

The 'already applied' message is exactly what it says, you already applied those changes.

Thanks for the reply, for linux-4.9.28-ath-regd.patch that was the first time I applied it and got that error... Do the 4.14 patches no longer apply (as in the newer 4.9 kernel doesnt need them?) or is the repo just not current with what you have made? I know you cant keep it all current all the time, just curious. Thanks again for all your work!

4.14 kernel is newer than 4.9, not the other way around.

4.14 patches are for 4.14 kernels, for people who want to experiment with newer 4.14 kernels.

If you use the 4.9 kernel mentioned in the readme and only apply the linux-4.9... patches, it works just fine.
