You will be committing only to your local repository and only to
create the patch.  It won't be pushed anywhere or even retained
locally (Yocto will apply your patch during the build), so you're
fine.

Your commit failed because git wasn't configured with your name and
email.  When you went ahead and performed the git format-patch, it
created a patch from I don't know what.  I was going to say from the
last commit in the repo, but the patch seemed to be created from a
commit back in 2014 which sounds implausible to be the last commit.
So I don't know what the rules are there.

So go ahead and run those commands to configure git, filling in your
info.  Then do the git commit again and everything following that in
the instructions.  You should be able to create your patch now.
