Typically the version is selected by whichever PV is 'higher'. However there
are many ways to change this behavior.
The primary way is for a configuration file (often the machine configuration) to
defined a preferred version. I.e.
PREFERRED_VERSION_arm-trusted-firmware = "2017.1"
Most likely there is a line like that someone in meta-xilinx.
Additional ways would be to have a recipe define itself as never the default
version.

The layer priority does not directly affect recipe selection. It may if you
have two layers of the -same- version.

My bad. topic has higher priority than xilinx, so there is something wrong as you mentioned.

Yes. The comments in bitbake/lib/bb/providers.py -> findBestProvider()
explain the process pretty well:
If there is a PREFERRED_VERSION, find the highest-priority bbfile
providing that version. If not, find the latest version provided by
an bbfile in the highest-priority set.
The only caveat is that if PREFERRED_VERSION contains a wildcard (%)
and matches more than one available version then all bets are off and
results may be unpredictable. It's up to the user to ensure that
doesn't happen.
Note that looking at the meta-xilinx recipe it seems that PV is set
manually and doesn't follow the recipe name, so depending on how you
set PV in your new recipe, it may not be completely obvious which
recipe is actually being used?

Yeah, that turned out to be the problem. The recipe is versioned as
"2017.1" but that is not the version it will actually build.
"bitbake-layers show-recipes arm-trusted-firmware" reveiled the true
versions, as Paul suggested, and that explained the strange choices.

At face value I would have to agree - it doesn't sound like it's working the
way it should.
What does bitbake-layers show-recipes arm-trusted-firmware show ?
Another diagnostic would be to do bitbake -DDD arm-trusted-firmware and see if
it gives any explanation as to why it's picking the older version (you'll have
to wade through all of the other irrelevant debug info though).
Cheers,
Paul
