you can just make 1 patch download

https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=39865a7f420ab4ca4dec6ed27339618a5d5dc366;hp=fe22022617a7122491aa83c893a10a8d861cde73

and delete the hunk which contains changeslog entry and rest should apply
cleanly. And add it to SRC_URI in binutils-2.29.inc
