Description Ola Nilsson 2015-02-26 13:36:47 UTC 
The warning

"WARNING: [kernel]: An auto generated BSP description was used, this normally indicates a misconfiguration. Check that your machine (${MACHINE}) has an associated kernel description."

should not be displayed when building a non-yocto-style kernel with a yocto-style kernel recipe.

Background:

We build our kustom kernel with a yocto-style kernel recipe, i.e. the recipe inherits from kernel-yocto.

We set our kernelconfigs for our various boards using a defconfig file added to the SRC_URI variable and a set of .scc files added to KERNEL_FEATURES.

The defconfig, .scc and .cfg files all reside in the layer alongside the recipe files.

This pattern now triggers the above warning on master.

I ended up creating a toggle/flag for this, since it is less error prone.

The implementation is done, and after a day of soaking, I'll send it to the list.
