[OE-core] [PATCH] base-files: fix 'dash' expanding '\n'

[Javier Viguera]

Hi all,

I just saw this patch i sent last week was pushed to 
openembedded-core/poky *master* branches. Thanks for that.

But in my development i am using stable 'danny' branches.

Any chance that this patch gets cherry-picked to 'danny' on 
openembedded-core and poky repos?
