[OE-core] patches can be either ".patch" or ".diff" files, yes?

 not sure where i saw this recently (i'll track it down), but some OE
or yocto doc claimed that patch files *must* be suffixed with
".patch". i'm pretty sure it can be either .patch or .diff, correct?
as in, it's perfectly valid to do this in a .bbappend file:

     SRC_URI += "file://0001-first-change.patch"
     SRC_URI += "file://0002-first-change.patch"
     SRC_URI += "file://0003-first-change.diff"

as long as the filenames match, of course. yes?
