[yocto] devtool finish & patch order

My changes for U-Boot are not working as expected. I am wondering- did I
use devtool incorrectly?

I used 'devtool modify' to create a working copy of the vendor's u-boot and
copied & modified files to add support for my custom board. I did my work
in 3 distinct and commitable steps, resulting in 3 patch files in my layer
when I ran 'devtool finish'.

When I pulled the changes into another clone for validation, it appears to
be applying patches in reverse order! It is attempting to apply patch 003
but cannot find the file to modify. That file was created in patch 001.
None of the files created in patch 001 are in my working directory.

I reversed the order of the patch files in the .bbappend file and it worked
fine.

Do I need to use the tool differently to get the patches correctly applied?


Thanks!
