Yes, this is the right answer. Thanks for closing the loop.

To summarize what happened between then and now, I traded messages
with people on the Intel Edison mailing list, but the responses took
about as long as my project. The change to maintain the kernel and
uboot sources outside of their massive Yocto tar ball is on their
"roadmap". That would get rid of the patch file naming conflicts that
started this whole patch series.

For me, I ended up copying the uboot and kernel patches to the local
BR tree for the project. Since I'm finished with the work on the
Edison, I don't have a need for the patch anymore. However, if others
run into issues with getting Buildroot to work on the Edison, I don't
mind digging up my notes and sharing.

Thanks,
Frank
