That wouldn't be a good idea. The .scc files are pointing to that
branch, while the SRC_URI is pointing elsewhere.

It is the SRC_URI that needs to be adjusted, not the .scc files.

or if we did deleted that branch, the .scc files need to be updated
to point to standard/tiny/base.

Either way, it isn't a branch / delete operation in the kernel tree,
it is a recipe and meta data fix.
