examples of the same issue:

$ grep -r 'FILESEXTRAPATHS:append := "\$' *
meta-freescale/recipes-graphics/imx-gpu-viv/imx-gpu-viv-6.inc:FILESEXTRAPATHS:append
:= "${THISDIR}/imx-gpu-viv:"
meta-security/meta-integrity/recipes-security/ima-evm-utils/ima-evm-utils_1.5.bb:FILESEXTRAPATHS:append
:= "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
meta-virtualization/recipes-networking/openvswitch/openvswitch_git.bb:FILESEXTRAPATHS:append
:= "${THISDIR}/${PN}-git:"
