[yocto] Error when applying kernel patch from BSP: "Uncommited changes detected. Refresh first" error

[Saxena, Rahul]

Hi,

I am trying to apply a kernel patch from the BSP, but getting a error.

SRC_URI +="file://my_rangeley.cfg"
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_rangeley = "rangeley"

cat  linux-yocto/patchlist.scc

patch msi.patch

I am using the master branch of poky.

What is the meaning of the ERROR messages above ?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rahul
