[meta-freescale] pyro branch mfgtool kernel and initramfs build fails

[Sergeant Peppercorn]

Marc, Thank you very much for the response. This got me much further
running 'bitbake -c menuconfig mfgtool-linux-imx' until this happened:
WARNING: mfgtool-linux-imx-4.1.15-r0 do_fetch: Failed to fetch URL
file://defconfig, attempting MIRRORS if available
ERROR: mfgtool-linux-imx-4.1.15-r0 do_fetch: Fetcher failure: Unable to
find file file://defconfig anywhere. The paths that were searched were:
... (all directories under source/meta-freescale/recipes-kernel/... )

Can it be that that prefix is in fact needed? What else could be the
problem? I can't get an initramfs or mfgtool kernel built for 4.1.15 with
any method so far! TIA.
