Same question for me. I am also looking to update an existing 5.1.1 AOSP 
version for our device (NanoPI 3). Which is by default using 5.1.1_r5
How can I integrate the patches? Do I have to lookup every patch file, or 
can I just use the latest wpa_supplicant_8 git and put the folder in my 
AOSP source?
