I have a linux-raspberrypi_4.4.bbappend file. Do I put the patch file in 
that, and If so, how do I indicate the path to the file?


yes.

SRC_URI += "file://yourpatch.patch"

also add

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"

then create a directory called linux-raspberrypi parallel to where the 
bbappend is and put the yourpatch.patch inside that directory.






Thanks for the help and enlightenment,

Re: [yocto] How to patch a driver in Linux source tree

Hi Jeremy,

I understand most of what you've got here, thanks, but I'm confused on the 
SRC_URI="…". Where should I look for the kernel git 
directory? I'm running Yocto with a mirror directory and that contains git 
directories for all of the major pieces, but I don't see one for the kernel. 
The kernel source is in tmp/work-shared/raspberrypi3/lernel-source, but that is 
not a git directory.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

SRC_URI = " 
file://your-patch-path"

Then place the patch in files subdirectory.

So your tree should look something like:

/recipes-kernel/linux/
  linux-raspberrypi_4.4.bbappend
  files/


Instead of "files", it might be named "linux-raspberrypi".

Hope this helps,
Jeremy
