[yocto] SRCPV description

[Robert P. J. Day]

  it might be worth tweaking the comment in fetch2/__init__.py, which
currently reads:

def get_srcrev(d):
    """
    Return the version string for the current package
    (usually to be used as PV)


  no, it's primarily used not *as* PV but in the *construction* of PV,
as in:

meta/conf/bitbake.conf:SRCPV = "${@bb.fetch2.get_srcrev(d)}"
...
meta/recipes-bsp/x-load/x-load_git.bb:PV = "1.5.0+git${SRCPV}"

  so, pedantically, that routine is used as SRCPV, which is
subsequently used in the final construction of PV.  QED.
