[PATCH 2/6] linux-yocto-custom: provide defconfig guidance

[Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>]

As reported by Andrea, defconfigs created with savedefconfig should specify
their expansion mode as "--alldefconfig' for custom yocto recipes. To ensure
that this is documented, we can add a comment in the skeleton recipe.

+#   defconfig: When a defconfig is provided, the linux-yocto configuration
+#              uses the filename as a trigger to use a 'allnoconfig' baseline
+#              before merging the defconfig into the build. 
+#
+#              If the defconfig file was created with make_savedefconfig, 
+#              not all options are specified, and should be restored with their
+#              defaults, not set to 'n'. To properly expand a defconfig like
+#              this, specify: KCONFIG_MODE="--alldefconfig" in the kernel
+#              recipe.
 #   
 #   example configuration addition:
 #            SRC_URI += "file://smp.cfg"
