wondering that when compiling a Git tree that is packaged like distro kernel RPM packages for OpenSUSE is it enough to just point LINUX_GIT to a kernel tree clone?

I made this conclusion from: https://github.com/openSUSE/kernel-source/blob/master/scripts/linux_git.sh

But there's bunch of scripts so possibly something else needs also to be taken into account. I just thought that this is easier path to test a few patches vs using patch sequencing which would make more sense, if contributing to the downtstream kernel itself.

For the record, for ad-hoc images I always use BuildRoot but it is nice to see also bigger features running as part of distribution kernel. In this case it is SGX cgroups which I have already smoked tested with kernel/busybox/notmuchelse style payload.

BTW, thanks for the earlier busybox tip @ncopa! I might start using Alpine for testing x86 because for such a set n stone platform it is pretty efficient :-) I.e. the robustness that BuildRoot provides when working with SoC's, SBC's, FPGA's and that sort of stuff is not really required for x86.
