[yocto] potentially confusing wordage in kernel dev manual

  section 2.2.4:

  "By default, the OpenEmbedded build system looks for defconfig files
  in the layer used for Metadata, which is "out-of-tree", and then
  configures them using the following:

     SRC_URI += "file://defconfig"


ummmmm ... that wording makes it sounds like it's the OE build system
that automatically adds a local defconfig file to SRC_URI. does anyone
else see the potential confusion in the way that's explained?
