Reference test case link: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Transcript:_Using_the_Yocto_BSP_tools_to_manage_kernel_patches_and_config_items

My steps:
1. Create a new bsp with cli "yocto-bsp create myqemux86 qemu"
2. modify bblayers.conf and local.conf, to added myqemux86 info
3. Download the patch from above website add input "yocto-kernel patch add myqemux86 ~/Yocto-testmod.patch" to add it.
4. added some configurations: "yocto-kernel config add myqemux86 CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y CONFIG_YOCTO_TESTMOD=y CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS=y CONFIG_SCHED_TRACER=y CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER=y CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER=y"
5. bitbake core-image-sato.


I got below error:

    linux-yocto/3.8: revert .gitignore: do not ignore meta directory
    
    We made a change to allow meta branch/directory changes to be visible
    when working with the kernel tree. But without associated tool changes
    .gitignore is different between branches and hence causes errors when
    changing branches and processing the tree.
    
    The tools changes are not ready yet, so to avoid patching issues,
    temporarily reverting the change.
