[poky] Dropbear SSH and empty root password

[Gary Thomas]

The default images have no password for root.  This used to
work fine with the dropbear SSH server, but no longer does.

I see that the recipe has this line:
   file://allow-nopw.patch;apply=no

Any comment on why this was disabled?  I think the history
of this change was lost in the great packages reshuffle.

Query: if I wanted to restore this behaviour, could I just
have a .bbappend file with that line as apply=yes?
