An alternative approach (perhaps the official generic solution?) may
be to use S="${WORKDIR}/git/project_dir", (re)create your patches from
the top level of the git repo without any extra strip levels etc and
then specify "patchdir" for each patch in SRC_URI, e.g. in your case
patchdir would be set to ".." in order to apply patches from the
directory one level above ${S}.

SRC_URI += "file://mychanges.patch;patchdir=.."
