I guess that might work, but AFAIK the preferred way of doing this starting with 5.11
is to add the contents of the patch to the existing (empty) linux-kernel-test.patch
file.

You can add multiple patches there by just concatenating them, e.g.:

cat 00*.patch > linux-kernel-test.patch

or:

cat patch1.patch > linux-kernel-test.patch
cat patch2.patch >> linux-kernel-test.patch
cat patch3.patch >> linux-kernel-test.patch
etc.

Likewise with 5.11 and later Kconfig options can be overriden for local builds
by adding them to the kernel-local file, e.g.

echo "CONFIG_AMD_SFH_HID=m" > kernel-local

Hans
