I used series.<platform> because the BSP currently supports two platforms
(two boards), and some of the patches are platform-specific.

This is because I am building imx6 specific packages which require a set of
kernel headers, and these must include imx6-specific bits.

In the thread that Alexander mentioned in his reply you mention the
following:

1. Move the patches to configs/platform-XXX/patches/linux-4.9.47/ and just
use 'series'.

I guess this solves my problem, however, just out of curiosity: If the
kernel headers package will pick up the correct patchset from
configs/platform-XXX/patches/linux-4.9.47, shouldn't it also pick it up if
it lives in patches/linux-4.9.47/series.XXX ?
