Hi Julien,


After some discussions with the community, we decided that the
official meta-raspberrypi pitft support should be added using
MACHINE_FEATURES. If you look in README for meta-raspberrypi there are
some basic description about how to enable support: 

For a already
supported pitft model (pitft22 is supported and 28r is on it's way
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2016-March/029284.html),
you can just add below MACHINE_FEATURES to local.conf:


MACHINE_FEATURES += "pitft pitft22" 

In order to add support for
additional models you can use
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2016-March/029284.html as
a reference.
 Basically what you need are to: 

* add the overlay for
the screen 

* Add dtoverlay option with wanted default arguments in
rpi-config_git.bb 

* Add a default calibration (if needed) 

Assuming
an overlay exists for your model, it shouldn't be so tricky to fix the
rest..
