Failed to load patch "patches.drm/0072-drm-i915-add-module-parameter-compiler-hints"
Unexpected end of file

The patch file does not end with a newline. GNU patch will also complain about it, but it succeeds anyway:

petr@mordecai:~/rapidquilt/issue31> patch -p1 < patches/unexpected-eof.patch
patching file drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c
patching file drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
petr@mordecai:~/rapidquilt/issue31> echo $?
0

IIRC this case was discussed back in 2019, and the decision was against relaxed parsing. The rationale was that scripts/sequence-patch.sh --fast (from SUSE kernel-source tree) concatenates multiple patches into one big patch, and then a missing end of line may break parsing of the following patch.

@hramrach I am open to review this decision.
