I managed to apply all 6 patches now for v5.7.

I had a big problem extracting the patches since they get base64
encoded and for some reason git am cannot deal with this. I thought
it would but it doesn't possibly because of custom headers in the
message.

I have to save out the base64 part of the message, decode separately,
then paste back the result removing the transfer-encoding line
of the original message.

cat mtk65.txt | base64 -d -i > scratch.patch

Any tips on how to handle this more efficiently?
