Daniel Barlow f1b7780537 speed up kernel build
by having two separate derivations for patching the kernel source tree
and building it, we have to copy said source trees from one store
location to another which takes non-neglible time on spinning rust
(literally minutes on my machine). Replace with a single derivation
that can do more things on one tree in-place

# GL.INet GL-AR750 "Creta" travel router
# - QCA9531 @650Mhz SoC
# - dual band wireless: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
# - two 10/100Mbps LAN ports and one WAN
# - 128MB DDR2 RAM / 16MB NOR Flash
# - "ath79" soc family
# https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ar750/
# I like GL.iNet devices because they're relatively accessible to
# DIY users: the serial port connections have headers preinstalled
# and don't need soldering
# Mainline linux 5.19 doesn't have device-tree support for this device
# or even for the SoC, so we use the extensive OpenWrt kernel patches
