commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=4311eb0059846d66e390c254849712a1b5a43ec1
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

In subsequent patches, we will add more explanation about how to
prepare patches, so it will be worthwhile to have a separate section
for the series preparation.
