Subject: kernel-dev: Added note about running a clean build with a patch
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2efe56a06f6c116325f5c5d3dfcc3165db290f1b;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core-contrib.git

kernel-dev: Added note about running a clean build with a patch

Put this note at the end of the traditional kernel development
flow.  A way for the user to verify that the patch was applied
for a subsequent build.
