Officially:

  patch -p1 < patch.text

Easier for you:

 - pick editor that you know how to use (nano, vi, emacs, joe, jove...)
 - edit file  drivers/net/hamradio/hdlcdrv.c
   - locate function  append_crc_ccitt
   - add missing line

Yes.

Better would be to rebuild your kernel runtime in distribution specific
way -- which I do not know for Ubuntu.

No.  It does HDLC framing in hardware.
