[Buildroot] [PATCH 3/3] Add perf tools support: this is the kernel patch to be applied to the kernel for kernel compile to go through; it basically adds a typedef.

This is not sufficient. Everything between [...] is ignored when the
patch is applied. Each of your patches should have a different commit
message.

That said, there is no reason for those 3 patches to be separate. If
you apply patch 1 alone, you have a config option that does nothing. If
you apply patches 1 and 2, then things break because it will try to
apply perf.patch which does not exist.

So basically, you should merge all your patches.
