yocto project building errors for protobuf 3.4.x about meta-openembedded HOT 2 CLOSED

I commented over on google/protobuf #4670 with a workaround of setting the SRC_URI to git://github.com/google/protobuf.git;tag=v3.4.1 but did not open a PR here because I don't know how the branches are maintained. rocko appears to not have much in the way of new commits, but rocko-next has active development. I did a cursory search to find out how branches were used here, but failed.

I think that with a specifically versioned recipe (i.e. 3.4.1) using the tag is most appropriate so that the project can clean up maintenance branches that are no longer necessary.

Looks like this is already fixed upstream.
