Patch is corrupt:

    Description: PATCH alfred
    Applying: PATCH alfred
    fatal: corrupt patch at line 6
    Patch failed at 0001 PATCH alfred
    The copy of the patch that failed is found in: .git/rebase-apply/patch
    When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
    If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
    To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
    'git am' failed with exit status 128

Please check http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/email-clients.txt to
understand what your email client has done to the patch..

And you patch subject is bogus. Please use something more specific
than "alfred". Check following examples:

Please clean that up.

It seems to be wrong to me that you try to query BATADV_CMD_GET_ORIGINATORS
