The real difference here is how ofthen someone will need to override a
qt recipe, for something board specific, and how ofthen it will be for
u-boot/kernel. I bet the former will be much more rare.

Most BSP ports, for customers, will involve kernel and u-boot changes
and ofthen enough you'll have an specific repository for your
u-boot/kernel so an u-boot-<customer> will be common in internal BSPs
and layers. We do it for our customers, I bet WR does the same.
