Hi Afif,

the patch auto-generation is annoying, but I did not find a way to turn
it off.  This said, the name of these patches is standardised, so they
are easy to spot and clean.

More to the point, and to take advantage of the patch autogeneration since it
is not an option, for changes from upstream that are trivial to backport and
that are to be remove after the next release, what I tend to do is to just
cherry pick the commit from Upstream's development branch, and revert it later.

Cheers,

Charles
