dpatch files in Yocto tree

dpatch files in Yocto tree

I find following dpatch files in the Yocto tree. Dpatch files have a small shell script at the beginning of the patch.

Out of all these, all gcc patches are for all gcc-4.3.3 only, which is kind of outdated stuff now. And will be going out of the tree soon.

Binutils & tslib patches are in current use. Adding metadata vars likes upstream_status may break the dpatch format/script.

Do we care for the shell script inside the dpatch file? Is it ok to break it inside Yocto tree?

I think you can add the Upstream-Status: after the exit on the script 
and before the patch proper starts.

Have you confirmed that all these patches are actually used?  I think 
that some are no longer used.

Also as Richard suggested, please put an RFC Patch that remove the 
oldest version of GCC 4.3.3, along with gcc-cross-kernel-3.4.4 as it's 
no longer needed either.
