Previously, the documentation only requested links to upstream commits
when backporting patches.
Based on a mailing list discussion [0], patches should, when possible
and when approriate, provide a link as evidence that the patch has been
submitted upstream.
The motivation is that hopefully the patch gets applied to upstream at
some point reducing the long term maintenance burden within Buildroot.
This also makes future patch review on subsequent package version bumps
more streamlined.
For patches that are unique to BR and do not apply to the upstream
repository, patches should have a comment explaining why they do not
apply upstream.
