I have one team that uses only the external gits for linux and uboot for building since their work is based off of daisy 3.10.17 GA.  I just did a build yesterday for them with external gits with no problems.

The only way we can be sure it is right is using:

bitbake linux-imx -c cleanall

and than building it again. Otherwise it reuses the downloaded cache
of the GIT repository so just checking if the revision is available
there and not redownloading it.

Please perform this test so we are sure it is working as fetching
errors is a critical issue especially for new users.
