Isn't BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY a global setting, i.e. if you add it
to meta-intel/conf/layer.conf, it applies to all other layers too?
Please don't do that.

Instead you can do a check against PV in cryptodev-module_%.bbappend to
see which version of the patch you need. In other words, carry the old
and new patch under different names in meta-intel and then apply the one
which matches OE-core. Makes the transition easier, too.
