Error log message

Encounter a bitbake error message when update the SRCREV of linux-firmware_git.bb file to latest HEAD of linux-firmware source tree.

The latest HEAD: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=b14134583c2a15d4404695f72cb523daedb877ab

In local.conf, add the IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " linux-firmware"

The attachment here is the error message that I captured.

I would appreciate if you can give some heads up on how to resolve this by
having a linux-firmware-netronome separate recipe. Thank you.
Comment 3 Alexander Kanavin 2017-04-11 09:52:29 UTC 
You copy/rename existing recipe, and instead of deleting metronome firmware, you delete everything else, and remove inherit allarch. The recipe will be arch-specific but at least the firmware will be provided.

But I guess this bug isn't really about that; it's about fixing the issue in rpm source code which would allow overriding the check/error.
