It actually doesn't seem to be.  I get a "Permission denied" build
failure when I apply it on top of 0fcf508 ("scripts/make-erofs.sh: Avoid
calls to dirname"), but I think I didn't see that failure when I applied
patch 1 as well.  We can either just keep this in the queue until we've
figured out what to do about patch 1, or you can investigate and
resubmit a standalone version of this patch.  Up to you.
