Hi,

I just sent a patch yesterday to fix similar problems in some other
BSPs.

The fix was to replace this:

> THISDIR := "${@os.path.dirname(bb.data.getVar('FILE', d, True))}"
> FILESPATH =. "${@base_set_filespath(["${THISDIR}/${PN}"], d)}:"

with this:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"

Can you try making that change in your layer and see if that helps?
