[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-ppc][PATCH] linux-qoriq-sdk : add config fragments with merge_config.sh from kernel tree

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537]

Hi Otavio,

Following is the build process. 
1. do_patch installs the kernel source into ${S}, and merge_config.sh is available in ${S}/scripts/kconfig/ folder.
2. In do_configure task, ${S}/scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh is called to merge delta kernel defconfig
3. go on subsequent steps

May I know what's the potential problem in your opinion?


Best Regards,

Zhenhua
