"Key Performance Indicator". I believe the implication here is that some people from Huawei are sending useless patches just to pad their performance values and look better inside the company.

Indeed... although I'd point the blame more squarely at management deciding that "number of patches" is the right way to measure someone's performance.

Not that I have any idea if that's the case here, but I've worked in places like that. Idiotic approach.
