Subject: Re: [yocto] [meta-rockchip] [PATCH] use MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS to add kernel-modules
Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2024 22:53:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240107035339.GA29784@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <19798.1704350715538435548@lists.yoctoproject.org>

I have been running little experiments on various builds with
meta-rockchip and with just oe-core and qemu machines. The more
I think about it, the more I wonder why a BSP layer is including
kernel modules via MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS at all, never mind
with MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS.

If a specific module were required for something to work (like wifi) or
perhaps some firmware blob, then it would be understandable. But a blanket
pulling in of all kernel modules by the BSP layer seems fishy.

This feels more like a distro setting, or local.conf at the very least.

I'm going to remove these from meta-rockchip. We can see if any are truly
required for a board to work.
