[Buildroot] [git commit] support/scripts/: remove -E flag from patch call

[Yann E. MORIN]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=1368ce2331cc0303ea59b35093875989d0d2bf8f
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

-E flag instructs patch to remove empty files. However, in some cases
empty files are essential. If they are missing, build could be broken
or other bad things can happen.

Note that empty files are still removed when their headers are properly
formattedo: timestamp set to 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z, destination set to
/dev/null.
