+# This function must be here BEFORE the require of linux-dtb.inc below.
+# There is a "bug" in the base kernel.bbclass that after it's do_deploy
+# step it does not return back to the ${S} directory but stays in the
+# DEPLOY_DIR.  However, the do_deploy_append defined in linux-dtb.inc
+# assumes that it is being run in the ${S} directory.  A patch is
+# being submitted to fix this issue by either changing the do_deploy
+# in the kernel.bbclass to do "cd -" as the last step or to add
+# "cd ${S}" as the first line of do_deploy in linux-dtb.inc and this
+# function can be removed once that change is available.
+# If the function is not placed BEFORE the require then the change
+# directory is not appended before the linux-dtb.inc changes.
