Custom PKGBUILD with linux-git - Trying to compile 4.15 with ROCm

Hi all,

Trying to patch this, but with AUR kernel-git, instead 4.9. Intended result is having ROCm drivers with 4.15 kernel, for AMD Vega.

I edited the patch to look like this:

Removing the mainline source tree and replacing it with one which does not contain any tags results in this error.  Does the source tree you switched to contain 4.15?
Edit:
The repo you switched to does contain tags why git describe fails needs more investigation.  The tree does not contain 4.14 or 4.15 though unless you mean the fkxamd/drm-next-wip which is somewhere between 4.14 and 4.17
