[yocto] bitbake is corrupting my files during unpacking

[Burton, Ross]

We don't take patches via pull requests (that repo is a mirror for
convenience and should have PRs disabled), but patches on the
openembedded-core mailing list.

https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines has
details as to the required patch formatting.  Summary:

Commit message should be of the form 'recipe: summary'.  The patch
you're adding also needs a summary explaining what it does, an
Upstream-Status value (Pending I guess, as upstream is dead we can't
submit it) and your Signed-off-by.
