The change is probably good but it causes consistent failures in out
testimage runs for mips and mips64:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/60/builds/1429
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/102/builds/196
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/74/builds/1431

all due to errors appearing in the logs.

Cheers,
