There may be so-many patches merged into 4.0 from patches-3.18 directory..?

I just created a directory with the name patches-4.0 under
target/linux/ramips/ .

I think its a bad solution. But the build was successful and able generate the
binaries in bin/ramips directory. I don't know whether these binaries working
or not. I don't have hardware to test these binaries.

I only copied one patch from patches-3.18 to 4.0 to fix one build error.
i.e., 0103-MIPS-OWRTDTB.patch

Hope it helps. Its just a shoot in the dark for your problem.

Test it and update the results.

Thanks
