[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] kernel: update kernel 4.4 to version 4.4.30

[Stijn Segers]

Hi,

I rely on KanjiMonster's script to adjust the patches, so they apply 
cleanly. Without it, if you start a verbose build, you'd see 'patch 
applied with fuzz 2' etc. With the amount of patches a project like 
this one has, clean patches eliminate redundant output and allow you to 
zoom in quicker on the correct lines in the source code (and the part 
of the patch that breaks them).

Cheers

Stijn
