[yocto] linux-yocto: doesn't maintain patch order from SRC_URI?

[Darren Hart]

I'm experimenting with Matt Fleming's EFI_STUB patches. The first 10 patches were working fine, but when I try to add the 11th, the do_patch fails. I found that it isn't trying to apply the patches in the order listed in the recipe - no in any other recognizable pattern for that matter.

The recipe contains:

# Add the efi-stub
SRC_URI += "file://0001-x86-Add-missing-bzImage-fields-to-struct-setup_heade.patch \
            file://0002-x86-efi-Make-efi_call_phys_prelog-CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.patch \
            file://0003-x86-Don-t-use-magic-strings-for-EFI-loader-signature.patch \
            file://0004-efi.h-Add-struct-definition-for-boot-time-services.patch \
            file://0005-efi.h-Add-efi_image_loaded_t.patch \
            file://0006-efi.h-Add-allocation-types-for-boottime-allocate_pag.patch \
            file://0007-efi.h-Add-graphics-protocol-guids.patch \
            file://0008-efi.h-Add-boottime-locate_handle-search-types.patch \
            file://0009-efi-Add-EFI-file-I-O-data-types.patch \
            file://0010-x86-efi-EFI-boot-stub-support.patch \
	    file://0011-x86-efi-Break-up-large-initrd-reads.patch \
            "

do_patch fails with:
