[yocto] linux-yocto-custom error on do_validate_branches()

[Carlo Caione]

Hi,
to build the v3.8.13 kernel I'm using the linux-yocto-custom recipe as
following:

---------------------------------------------
inherit kernel
require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc

SRC_URI = "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;protocol=git;nocheckout=1"
SRC_URI += "file://defconfig"
SRC_URI += "file://0001-kernel-rskrza1_rzlspv0.patch"

LINUX_VERSION ?= "3.8.13"
LINUX_VERSION_EXTENSION ?= "-custom"

SRCREV="dbf932a9b316d5b29b3e220e5a30e7a165ad2992"

PR = "r1"
PV = "${LINUX_VERSION}+git${SRCPV}"

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "rsr972"
------------------------------------------------

the problem is that bitbake returns an error:

------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------

Actally the SHA is valid since using the Linus repo I have

~/work/linux-stable(branch:master) » git branch --contains
dbf932a9b316d5b29b3e220e5a30e7a165ad2992
  linux-3.8.y

what's the problem with the recipe?

Thank you,
