Hi longo92,

We can't really comment on feature change and timeline on DevZone. However, I see that the commits you mentioned are already in v3.2.0-preview2, so it's reasonable to expect that they will be in v3.2.0 release.

You can find the guidance to use west patch by running west patch --help.

As an alternative, you can also download the patch files the way khelmutlord described, and use git apply in the zephyr directory instead.

While I'm sure that these changes will be added to nRF Connect's fork of Zephyr in the near future, there is actually a new means of adding specific patches to your local installs of Zephyr or any module in Zephyr (nRF Connect SDK is essentially also a Zephyr module).

docs.zephyrproject.org/.../zephyr-cmds.html

This saves you from needing to maintain your own fork, and also puts the patches into version control. When you move to an updated version of nRF Connect SDK, you can simply remove these patches from the "zephyr" directory.

Additionally, nRF Connect SDK V3.1 has support for the west patch gh-fetch command, where you can grab directly from the merged PR.

Finally, if you append ".patch" to the url like so: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/commit/d7e41fd2e361ee15454a253ebec9bb37aceaf09f.patch you can download this patch, populate it in the patches.yml file, and go on your merry way.

Hope this helps!
