Bruce,

I've created new build setup with this configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.18.0"
BUILD_SYS         = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING   = "Ubuntu-12.10"
TARGET_SYS        = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "beaglebone"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.4.2"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv7a vfp neon"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"
meta              
meta-yocto        
meta-yocto-bsp    = "dylan:4e399f08d596197859214fdb3b06403b87bf8789"
meta-oe           = "dylan:a108b2203a997634f87ac687e81712badaf3c546"
common-bsp        = "dylan:7fdf9c670a10c5031a2d5555c15c45e453de8c21"
meta-mine         = "dylan:4e399f08d596197859214fdb3b06403b87bf8789"

common-bsp comes from meta-beagleboard.
meta-oe needed to be added because of machine_kernel_pr.bbclass.

bblayers.conf:
LCONF_VERSION = "6"
BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?= ""
BBLAYERS ?= " \
  ${TOPDIR}/meta \
  ${TOPDIR}/meta-yocto \
  ${TOPDIR}/meta-yocto-bsp \
  ${TOPDIR}/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
  ${TOPDIR}/meta-beagleboard/common-bsp \
  ${TOPDIR}/meta-mine \
  "

meta-mine:
conf/layer.conf:
BBPATH .= ":${LAYERDIR}"
BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes*/*/*.bb ${LAYERDIR}/recipes*/*/*.bbappend"
BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "my-layer"
BBFILE_PATTERN_my-layer := "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_my-layer = "10"

recipes-kernel/linux/linux-mainline_3.8.bbappend (scenario 1):
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}-3.8:"
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_beaglebone = "(beaglebone)"
SRC_URI += " file://defconfig \
             "
recipes-kernel/linux/linux-mainline-3.8/defconfig (scenario 1):
http://pastebin.com/qd8B3C5K

recipes-kernel/linux/linux-mainline_3.8.bbappend (scenario 2):
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}-3.8:"
inherit kernel
require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_beaglebone = "(beaglebone)"
SRC_URI += " file://config-addons.cfg \
             "
recipes-kernel/linux/linux-mainline-3.8/config-addons.cfg (scenario 2):
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT=y
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NTFS_RW=y


Results:
  • Scenario 1: Full defconfig replacement
${WORKDIR}/defconfig comes from meta-beagleboard instead of meta-mine
${S}/.config comes from meta-beagleboard instead of meta-mine
"bitbake linux-mainline" got stuck on do_patch
log.do_patch:
DEBUG: Executing shell function do_patch
WARNING: no meta data branch found ...
Switched to branch 'linux-3.8.y'

I'll jump in one more time...

Have you tried putting defconfig and patch under <machine> subdir?

recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto-3.2/<machine>
defconfig
my-own.patch

I've recently added two similar entries for 3.10 and it works.
Afaik it was impossible to put a common patch under /linux-yocto-.3.2
at the time.

Andrea,

I did it before and not worked.
I'll do it again just to make sure.
