[yocto] dpatch files in Yocto tree

[Kamble, Nitin A]

I find following dpatch files in the Yocto tree. Dpatch files have a small shell script at the beginning of the patch.

Out of all these, all gcc patches are for all gcc-4.3.3 only, which is kind of outdated stuff now. And will be going out of the tree soon.

Binutils & tslib patches are in current use. Adding metadata vars likes upstream_status may break the dpatch format/script.

Do we care for the shell script inside the dpatch file? Is it ok to break it inside Yocto tree?
