The issue with this is that there is a lag between when a Yocto release comes
out, and when the BSP layer is ready for it. So there is a timespan where the
docs will not work. With meta-yocto-bsp, we're sure that this example will
always work.

On the other hand, having an external layer here would be an opportunity to shed
some light on `bitbake-layers layerindex-fetch --branch scarthgap --fetchdir
../layers/ meta-raspberrypi`. So I'm a bit torn on this but I think I prefer
going with meta-yocto-bsp.

What do you think?
