[OE-core] in sysfsutils_2.1.0.bb, is 'S = "${WORKDIR}/sysfsutils-${PV}"' redundant?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  more nitpickery, but was demonstrating OE recipe structure to class
yesterday, arbitrarily picked sysfsutils_2.1.0.bb, going through it
line by line, and a sharp-eyed student noticed this line:

S = "${WORKDIR}/sysfsutils-${PV}"

and wondered what it was doing there, since bitbake.conf sets the
default of:

S = "${WORKDIR}/${BP}"

and since, by default:

BP = "${BPN}-${PV}"

the source directory for sysfsutils would already appear to be
correct. setting S that way in the recipe obviously doesn't do any
harm, but is it accurate to say that, at least in this case, it's
unnecessary?
