It'd be great to have a section in the documentation about this feature.

+	$(Q)($(call pkg-apply-patch-directory,$($(PKG)_DIR_PREFIX)/$(RAWNAME)))

I could be wrong, but I think this would also work:

	$(foreach patchdir,$(call qstrip,$(BR2_EXTRA_PACKAGE_PATCH_DIRS)),$(Q)$(call pkg-apply-patch-directory,$(patchdir))$(sep)))

(and the semicolon at the end of pkg-apply-patch-directory is redundant then).

Alternatively, you could define:

PACKAGE_PATCH_DIRS = $($(PKG)_DIR_PREFIX)/$(RAWNAME) $(call qstrip,$(BR2_EXTRA_PACKAGE_PATCH_DIRS))
...

	$(Q)$(foreach patchdir,$(PACKAGE_PATCH_DIRS),$(call pkg-apply-patch-directory,$(patchdir)))

Regards,
Arnout
