Add patches to kernel from other home?

[ademmer]

I use a kernel from home:tiwai:clickpad that has support for my clickpad. I now have some patches that I want to apply to this kernel. They (hopefully) fix a backlight control issue with my notebook.

What do I need to do for this? If I am not mistaken, I need to link the original files in my OBS project. Now I can add files, but what do I need to do here?

Add the diff (created in /usr/src/linux)? Do I need to add the same diff both to kernel-desktop and kernel-source? Or do I need to branch these?

Questions over questions… :\
