In the future, to not remain stuck with the error FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
, you can simply run sha256sum *.patch
or sha256sum *.deb
to calculate the checksum of the corresponding file(s).
In the current case, the issue was that copying the contents of kernel-6.4.patch file from the webpage probably added a space somewhere and, obviously, the checksum was not the same.
When the winner for the maintainer contest is chosen ;-) , the patches will simply be available in the repository, so the issue will not occur.
