Format patch correctly

I am trying to revert two patches on linux kernel files /drivers/hid/hiddev.c and /drivers/hid/hid-input.c to try to restore the trackpoint and trackpoint buttons on my Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Tablet. This fix is reported here

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26135

and here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxOnThinkpads/comments/evr42q/x1_tablet_3rd_gen_left_and_right_mouse_buttons/

and the issue has been opened on the linux kernel bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206667

The two patches that need to be reverted are

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/14/273

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/14/251

which are two in a series of emails, each containing part of a larger patch. I have saved the text in those two emails that looked to me like patch text, in particular beginning at the lines

drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c | 97+++++++++++++++++++-------------------------

and

drivers/hid/hid-input.c | 16 ++++++++++++----

and going to the end of each email respectively.

When I try to revert them with

patch --dry-run -Rr -p0  <../Thinkpad_X1_Tablet/patch_2020_1_14_273

I get the following warning/error

can't find file to patch at input line 7Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?The text leading up to this was:--------------------------|---| drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c |   97 +++++++++++++++++++-------------------------| 1 file changed, 42 insertions(+), 55 deletions(-)||--- a/drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c|+++ b/drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c--------------------------

I know the patches as I have saved them do not begin with a line

diff ...

And I suspect that is the problem but I don't know exactly how to reformat them.
