[PATCH] kernel: remove unused 'etc' directory

[PATCH] kernel: remove unused 'etc' directory

[Mark Asselstine]

Along with checks to remove empty modprobe.d and modules-load.d
directories we can add a similar check and removal of the etc
directory. This will avoid warnings by the sanity checker.

There is some concern that removing this directory could cause issues
if folks are adding to etc in a bbappend and not checking for and
creating this directory. I don't believe this is an issue as if you
want to add something to etc it should be done as part of a
populate_packages_prepend or earlier since there are sanity checks run
as part of populate_packages, so the removal here is being done at the
latest possible point in the process (populate_packages_prepend in a
bbappend will run before the populate_packages_prepend in
kernel.bbclass).

I assume this patch is for Denzil?  It seems that the current OE-Core 
master has etc in that list.

Please confirm

Sau!

Saul,

Sorry I got mixed up on my branches there and didn't notice your change, 
thanks for straightening me out. Scott any chance we can get Saul's commit 
963742f5a9bc [kernel: Fix packaging issue] cherry-picked to Denzil?

Hi Mark,

Yes, I have just pulled that into my sgarman/denzil-next branches, to be 
queued up for Autobuilder testing ASAP.

Thanks Scott and Saul. Sorry for the initial confusion. I will be sure to look 
closer at the tree/branches next time around.
