I changed the directory names in the patches to match the build tree directory structure.
I made some modifications to the surrounding code lines in Vasant's version patch to make the patch apply successfully.

With the patches applied I build the package and installed it. On
running the commands I see:

ubuntu at ubuntu:~/ubuntu-bionic/chandni$ lshw -version
Ubuntu.4.15.0
ubuntu at ubuntu:~/ubuntu-bionic/chandni$ lshw -h
Hardware Lister (lshw) - Ubuntu.4.15.0
usage: lshw [-format] [-options ...]
lshw -version

-version        print program version (Ubuntu.4.15.0)

format can be
-html           output hardware tree as HTML
-xml            output hardware tree as XML
-json           output hardware tree as a JSON object
-short          output hardware paths
-businfo        output bus information

options can be
-class CLASS    only show a certain class of hardware
-C CLASS        same as '-class CLASS'
-c CLASS        same as '-class CLASS'
-disable TEST   disable a test (like pci, isapnp, cpuid, etc. )
-enable TEST    enable a test (like pci, isapnp, cpuid, etc. )
-quiet          don't display status
-sanitize       sanitize output (remove sensitive information like serial numbers, etc.)
-numeric        output numeric IDs (for PCI, USB, etc.)
-notime         exclude volatile attributes (timestamps) from output

I am attaching the build package for Pavithra to test along with the changed patch files and the build log.
Adding Vasant to CC in case there are any issues seen with version-patch after Pavithra's test.

  Upstream patches:
  https://github.com/lyonel/lshw/commit/18edc98f9d08883f340087cfefbdf05c585d56f7
  and
  https://github.com/lyonel/lshw/commit/503c76a35a9e97a098af7c1ac793a7e13c07ce70

  should fix the version and missing -json option issues respectively.

  Kindly cherry pick them and verify.

  Thanks!
