The sdimg image classes in meta-raspberrypi and meta-sunxi broke when I 
switched from dora to master branch.
See: 
https://github.com/djwillis/meta-raspberrypi/blob/master/classes/sdcard_image-rpi.bbclass#L43
It is using relative path to rootfs which assumes the working directory 
is DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE.
I was able to build the SD card images fine after the fix.
