[linux-yocto] Linux - Yocto - Compilation is giving trailing whitespace

[ansaris]

Hi,

We are using renesas's SoC based custom board.  Please find the below 
weblink for the meta layer for the same.
https://github.com/renesas-rz/meta-renesas

In yocto source code, we have created the recipe file for linux kernel 
by referring the below recipe.
https://github.com/renesas-rz/meta-renesas/blob/master/meta-rzg1/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-renesas_3.10.bb

We are using Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit OS host PC for yocto compilaiton.

The issue we are facing is, we are getting below issues while compiling 
our custom board's linux kernel. The linux kernel "do_patch" giving 
below errors and results the patches are not able to apply and throws an 
error.
/trailing whitespace//
//space before tab in indent//
//is beyond a symbolic link/

We observed the below scenarios for this issue,
Some of our host PC (same Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit OS) not giving any issues 
and it is compiling the Linux kernel without any issues.
If we entered the below linux kernel path and  apply the patch file 
manually then the the Linux kernel patch file is applied without any 
issues.  But the same is giving above mentioned error during yocto 
"do_patch" task.

Please suggest us.


Thanks and Regards,
Ansari
