FYI patch=1 is no longer necessary as of quite some time ago - the .patch (or 
.diff) extension is enough to indicate that it's a patch.

Are you sure there is no patch of this name elsewhere in the search path for 
this recipe? This is buggy behaviour if there isn't. (bitbake -e linux-wrs | 
grep "^FILESPATH" will give you the entire path it is using.) In any case the 
directory it should search for the patch in is linux-wrs/Vortex86DX not linux-
wrs_Vortex86DX.

I'd also recommend for consistency if it's not too difficult to change at this 
point that you use an all-lowercase machine name.
 
Cheers,
Paul
