 There are breaking changes in master in the license syntax.

+Because of this we carry a local work branch that follows
+oe-core/master without any local changes.
 
 The patches can be backported from openembedded-core in two steps:
 
-First the patch is backported on the backport branch
+First the patch is backported on the work branch
 ```
- git checkout wrynose/linux-firmware-master
+ git checkout wrynose/linux-firmware-work
  git -C ../openembedded-core format-patch --stdout -1 \
    origin/master meta/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware | \
   git am --signoff -p4 --directory=recipes-kernel/linux-firmware
 ```
 
-Second we merge the backport branch and fix the license syntax
+Second the license syntax is fixed and the work branch is merged
 ```
