For example, there is a kernel patch in meta-app/recipes-kernel/linux-yocto/linux-yocto, I add the file in linux-yocto_%.bbappend file. bitbake yocto-linux will fail with "do patch error". If I revert the patch, the build is okay.

Raise a bug, and assign it to me. I can have a look at it. There must
be some interaction in this configuration that I didn't test ... because I
definiely did test the applcation of patches :)

Make sure to add everything to the bug, the bbappend, the patch, etc,
so I can re-create the failure on my machines.

We can't revert that patch, since it actually is required to prevent patches
from being applied multiple times .. so I'll need to incrementally fix the
issue.
