For the record.

Discussed this with Phil Blundell on irc. He is the maintainer of the
file and (on irc) has acked my patch.
His preference was not to apply the patch.
"because the OE convention is to keep local patchsets separate from
the upstream source files".

I don't have the patch handy here and it is not on patchwork, but I
will push it tonight. Suggest to add it to the release branch too.

Have fun!
Frans.
