This isn't what Chris meant. BitBake handles FILESDIR, not the metadata
(and grepping bitbake will show a result).

I'm tempted to take the patch on the grounds that a single reference to
fix is probably easier than several other references. The replacement is
probably something like:

FILESPATH =. "${FILE_DIRNAME}/u-boot-git/${MACHINE}:"

We should really get on, replace the remaining references and complete
removal of FILESDIR.

Cheers,
