[yocto] Perforce fetcher ignores module and label

[Paul Eggleton]

Hi Katu,

Andrew Bradford (on CC) was the last person to make significant changes to 
that module. I believe it's not very widely used - none of the recipes we 
commonly deal with make use of it and thus few of us have enough experience 
with it to give good advice. If Andrew doesn't have any ideas, the code 
shouldn't be too hard to follow and we will accept patches (particularly if 
they are accompanied with a good explanation of why the change is needed in 
the commit message).

Cheers,
Paul
