  poring over kernel-related tasks and i see this snippet in
kernel-yocto.bbclass:

addtask kernel_metadata after do_validate_branches do_unpack before do_patch
do_kernel_metadata[depends] = "kern-tools-native:do_populate_sysroot"
do_validate_branches[depends] = "kern-tools-native:do_populate_sysroot"

 both of the kernel_metadata and validate_branches tasks have a
dependency of "kern-tools-native:do_populate_sysroot", but since:

"addtask kernel_metadata after do_validate_branches ..."

is that dependency for kernel_metadata necessary? clearly, it doesn't
hurt but, technically, is it superfluous?
