[OE-core] [PATCH 0/1] kern-tools: fix custom repository BSP generation

[Bruce Ashfield]

Richard,

As was reported on the oe-core mailing list earlier today, custom
BSPs (other than the ones generated by the BSP tooling) that relied
on generated BSP descriptions started failing.

I did the following one line patch to fix them.

   Updating the SCRCREV to pick up the following fix

       updateme: use absolute path for generated BSP descriptions

       When a custom BSP is used, a top level BSP is generated by the tools and fed
       to the build system just as a user defined BSP would be located and
       passed. The location of the generated file is placed in the top_tgt file,
       which is used by subsequent stages. A relative path was being placed into
       top_tgt, which binds the build to a particular directory structure and
       working directory.

       The location of parts of the build have changed, and this relative path is
       no longer accurate. Changing it to an absolute path solve the build issues
       related to custom BSPs.

There's no risk to existing kernels, or built binary images. The
only thing that runs this code is BSP generation routines that are
triggered by linux-yocto-custom.

If there's any room in 1.4, this one-line would be a good idea!

Cheers,

Bruce
