Obtain patches to apply to the mainline kernel

[lucat1]

Hi, I'm trying to add armbian support for the StarFive boards using this patched kernel. Their system uses a set of patches, not a whole git repository with patches pre-applied as it's been done here. I'd therefore like to extract patches from the point this repo diverges from the mainline kernel.

• Where is the mainline kernel located in terms of branch?
• What branches should I diff?

Currently I've taken all commits startin from the last Torvalds commit here: eb7081409f94a9a8608593d0fb63a1aa3d6f95d8 and filtering out the ones starting with NOT FOR UPSTREAM

Actually, I've seen armbian also allows a custom clone url for the kernel. If that's the preferred method we can easily close this issue.
