Browse Source 
The do_patch implementation does not apply patches from an entry in
SRC_URI pointing to a directory.
Remove the claim that this is implemented.

Conversely, if you have a directory full of patch files and you want to
exclude some so that the ``do_patch`` task does not apply them during
the patch phase, you can use the "apply=no" parameter with the
``SRC_URI`` statement:
::
Conversely, if you have a file whose file type is ``.patch`` or ``.diff``
and you want to exclude it so that the ``do_patch`` task does not apply
it during the patch phase, you can use the "apply=no" parameter with the
:term:`SRC_URI` statement::
SRC_URI = " \
git://path_to_repo/some_package \
file://path_to_lots_of_patch_files \
file://path_to_lots_of_patch_files/patch_file5;apply=no \
file://file1.patch \
file://file2.patch;apply=no \
"
In the
previous example, assuming all the files in the directory holding the
patch files end with either ``.patch`` or ``.diff``, every file would be
applied as a patch by default except for the ``patch_file5`` patch.
In the previous example ``file1.patch`` would be applied as a patch by default
while ``file2.patch`` would not be applied.
You can find out more about the patching process in the
