    <thetext>KERNEL_EXTRA_FEATURES used by kernel code is lacking
a default value and is only implicitly documented

&gt; bitbake-getvar KERNEL_EXTRA_FEATURES

returns

&gt; KERNEL_EXTRA_FEATURES=&quot; features/debug/debug-kernel.scc&quot;

but only if a poky based distro is used.
For e.g. pure code &quot;nodistro&quot;

&gt; The variable &apos;KERNEL_EXTRA_FEATURES&apos; is not defined

All of linux-yocto recipes use that variable, but no further information
about it is given.

As those values are folded into KERNEL_FEATURES an option might be to
just completely get rid of this variable</thetext>

    <thetext>After the discussion on https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/topic/patch/113397877, we all agreed that this variable is not worth documenting as it serves no value over the already existing and documented KERNEL_FEATURES variable.</thetext>
