Andrey, All,

This has already been done as of commit f46e13f05fa0 (support/dependencies,
scripts: accept patches with renames).
This commit is however not part of any released version; it is for the
moment only on the master branch of the repository.
So, if you are about to submit support for some new board based on
existing patches, you will benefit from this change when you rebase on
master. ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
