[meta-freescale] [PATCH] openssl: remove obsolete PREFERRED_VERSION

[zhenhua.luo at freescale.com]

Hi Otavio, 

The FSL SDK is based on the latest version of openssl(1.0.1j) when the SDK is planned, so all the patches are created based on this version, the openssl is upgraded in oe-core during the SDK release, so we don't use bbappend. 


Best Regards,

Zhenhua
