kern-tools: make dash compliant

Hi all,

Here's an update of merge_config.sh for master, dylan and danny. The changes to master and danny are identical, but we need two commits versus one for dylan. As for danny, I ported only the changes that I needed for dash compliance, and created a kern-tools branch to track that change. So the patch for danny has a SRCREV update and a switch to the danny kern-tools branch.

The patches break down like this:

master: zedd/kerntools-master
[PATCH 1/1] kern-tools: refresh and make dash compliant

dylan: zedd/kerntools-dylan
[PATCH dylan 1/2] kern-tools: anchor and delimit regexs [PATCH dylan 2/2] kern-tools: refresh and make dash complian

danny: zedd/kerntools-danny
[PATCH danny] kern-tools: refresh and make dash compliant

The problem was this:

The separately packaged merge_config.sh in the kern-tools package was missing upstream fixes, and in particular a change that ensures it is dash compatible.

By grabbing that upstream commit and rebasing the existing patches on top of the new baseline, we are up to date and working on systems where /bin/sh is dash.

I've tested the kernel config on all branches, as well as busy box on master and dylan. The before and after .configs are the same and we are dash compliant. But it's worth doing some sanity tests, just in case I messed up the juggling of the three branches!

[YOCTO #4473]

Cheers,

Bruce
