[RFC PATCH 1/1] linux-module: append local files path to FILSPATH

[Claudius Heine <ch@denx.de>]

FILESEXTRAPATHS is meant to allow bbappend files to overwrite files from
their recipe. For this reason the 'normal' patter in bbappend files is
to prepend the local file path to FILESEXTRAPATHS, which results in
files from the local file path to be preferred over files from the
original recipe, or other, lower prioritized bbappend files.

The `module.inc` file is meant to be included by other recipes (`.bb`)
files. So it should still allow the recipe to overwrite files its files
that where added via the normal recipes `FILESPATH` search path.

If `module.inc` uses `FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend` to add its local file
path to `FILESPATH`, then the recipe, that includes the `module.inc`
would have to use `FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend` as well, after including the
`module.inc` file in order to overwrite the files from the `module.inc`
file. However this is a workaround of the issue.

`module.inc` should append its local file search path to `FILESPATH`, so
that it allows other recipes to overwrite any file from it, without
requiring an additional workaround.
