[OE-core] [PATCH] wic: Use custom kernel path if provided

Richard,

I don't think there are any additional test cases that need to be created for this condition.  It is a fairly unique set of circumstances that cause an error in our build system and would be difficult to reproduce outside of it.

As for your concern about this being the right thing to do, honestly I'm not sure, but it does seem wrong to me that there is a code path that ignores the value in options.kernel_dir, which is why I proposed the patch (and of course our build system was being affected by it).  I'm not sure if it is right or not, but it seems "more right" to me.

Hope that helps,
Bill

The concern with these kinds of changes is I can't really test it or tell if it
is the right thing to do and I worry about it regressing in the future.

Is there part of the test coverage we should be improving too? wic does have
fairly good coverage from oe-selftest -r wic

Cheers,

Richard
