Yep, bitbake is telling us where it is looking. The -wrs_git is the
extension to the recipe, so that isn't where it is looking.

On another note, there's been a lot of fixes to the kern tools to
improve the process for adding BSPs and extending the tree (and
one defconfig bug fix), so I'll be interested to hear how this
goes.
