I just copied it from linux-orion directory. This patch just adds space  
between '-m' and 'mode'. (see the patch) On my ubuntu-8.04, 'install  
-m0644' is the same as 'install -m 0644', so this patch can be removed  
 from SRC_URI. But I don't know whether or not it is an issue on other  
linux operation systems.

By the way, I found it in the following recipes, all of them are for ppc  
arch.
linux-linkstationppc_2.6.28.4.bb:            
file://fw-and-powerpc-install.patch;patch=1 \
linux-orion_2.6.28.4.bb:            
file://fw-and-powerpc-install.patch;patch=1 \
linux-storcenter_2.6.27.7.bb:            
file://fw-and-powerpc-install.patch;patch=1 \
So, I just copy it into linux-storcenter.

Yes, I understand. I should tell where I copied it from
