Then, I mail that .EML file to my Linux box gmail account.  From there I process the patch using the 'patch' command as normal.  For some reason, the .EML file when it arrives to my gmail account has long lines of random characters (gibberish) that the patch program is unable to deal with.  I am unsure if it is a problem on my end with my process or with the patch generation.

Things were a little confusing for Scott since the patch is against
poky, not the bitbake repository. I've merged in the patch, thanks.

In future please include a Signed-off-by line and with the shortlog in
the commit message, format it as per the contribution guidelines so that
someone can easily see which code it affects (fetch2/gitsm: is
appropriate in this case).

Cheers,

Richard
