[yocto] Installing a directory tree of files into the target filesystem

[Joe Nicholson]

Thanks Adam. 

I don't have any major permissions issues either, so will definitely try
that. I assume I could just explicitly set the permissions on the target
directory as a later step in do_install if needed. 

Thanks also for the link. 

Cheers!
