This looks awfully complicated and I'm not sure this does much more
than this would:

-addtask devshell after do_patch
+addtask devshell after do_prepare_recipe_sysroot

Can someone explain to me why we want to do the below instead as I
think the effect is the same?

I did read the bug too but that didn't help answer my question.

Yes, this does mean devshell will now trigger a lot of more
dependencies and build but I think the change below would do the same
thing too.

Cheers,

Richard
