Layer1 holds the recipe and I find it more informative to have the
reference there - that way the .bbappends in layer2 _must_ define
it and the dependency is obvious since the recipe will fail without
this file being specified.

My use case is layer1 has a generic kernel recipe and layer2 (BSP)
has a platform specific patch for that kernel.  I have other use
cases, but this is indicative of how I view the layering.
