[linux-yocto] kernel-yocto integration into freescale kernel

[Jate Sujjavanich]

One of the patches had a single word subject line that was very common in
the kernel repository's commit logs, so the script decided it was the first
one in the series towards the end. After I made it less general, the script
fell through to just applying all of the patches.

Thanks
