If I understand your question correctly, than you don't need to clone/reset
anything at all. You should just learn git-rebase or maybe just the
git-cherry-pick for the beginning:

$ git checkout -b oe-upstream origin/master
$ git cherry-pick -n <hash of '[PATCH v2] barebox: added recipe for barebox v 2010.10'>
$ vim barebox-recipe # remove the vmx25 bits from the recipe
$ git add barebox-recipe && git commit -a -m 'barebox: added barebox 2010.10'

$ git cherry-pick -n <hash of 'barebox: patches for barebox 2010.10 to support vmx25'>
$ vim barebox-recipe # add vmx25 bits and vmx25 patch
$ git add barebox-recipe barebox-vmx25-patch
$ git commit -a -m 'barebox: add support for vmx25 machine'

$ #test-build the changes now
$ #git format v3 of your patchset
$ #review the patches
$ #git send the patches

BTW, it's really a lot easier and faster with git-rebase, it's worth learning it.
