What File to Patch? WiFi Driver Installation on Kali-Linux

[aLi3nZ]

Hey everyone,

Unfortunately I didn't see this covered by any guide from my searching so asking here as my last resort. The guides I did find say to apply patches. However I am prompted as to what file to patch during the process which is not covered on any guide?

I am needing to install rtl8723bs for my tablet. Downloaded from here: https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs
As I am running the latest version of Kali Linux and have run all updates. I am thinking the 5 patches under the "patches_4.5" will be required? rtlwifi_new: Kernel patches for v4.5
I also installed the latest version of backports.
Can someone please help me out as to what file to patch when prompted for these 5 patches? It would be much appreciated.

No response. Here is some other info as per link posted.
Patches look to point to the followed paths, however still unsure exactly the path / file to enter to patch for each of these.
