[yocto] FILESPATH Search Order Changed?

[Leo Schwab]

I'm working on transitioning from 'dylan' to the 'dora' branch for our
Freescale-based project, and suddenly my kernel is building with the
wrong config.  I've isolated it to a change in (what I presume is) the
FILESPATH search order, and shows up very plainly when looking at the
log.do_unpack file.

My defconfig is located in
/..paths../sources/meta-belis3/recipes-kernel/linux/files/defconfig.
Under 'dylan', it does this, and gets picked up correctly:

But under 'dora', it does this:

As a consequence, it picks up a default Freescale-supplied 'defconfig'
rather than mine.

The "obvious" solution is to move my 'defconfig' under a directory
named 'medianode' or 'poky'.  What's less clear is what I should have
been doing in the first place and why, so that I can avoid getting
bitten by this kind of thing again.
