I have a similar case.
As an x86 system, some of the recipes/changes are referenced from
Intel-BMC, which is not upstreamed.
Currently, we had patches related to UART routing and
phosphor-node-manager-proxy.
The UART routing patches are being upstreamed thanks to Troy.
The change to node-manager is related to the HW design difference, and
due to the fact that phosphor-node-manager-proxy is in Intel-BMC, we
can not really make the patch upstream.

How do we handle such cases?
