[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] data_smart: Ensure all possible overrides are cache including those with '_' in the name

[Richard Purdie]

Unfortunately we've been neglecting to pay the correct tributes to the
cookie monster and hence the datastore is malfunctioning.

Currently tributes are only paid on the last part of a variable after
the last "_" character. We need to split by *all* "_" characters since
an override may contain the character.

This fixes the code so the correct number of tributes are made. Paradoxically
parsing appears to be faster after this change.
