Thank you!

Please remember, I’ve never done this before…  so I’ve still got a couple of questions:

How do I get a copy of the v4.19-rc1 tar ball, if I decide to go that way?  And once I’ve got it, which section of the kernel handbook do I look in for instructions to build it?

And supposing I decide to go the other way and add the patch to my current kernel (4.18.0-1-powerpc64) how do I get the patch in a form that I can add it to the kernel?  I’m assuming that section 4.2.2 “Simple patching and building” is where I go for instructions once I’ve got the patch?

Thanks, and really sorry for my ignorance!
