[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-arm][PATCH 3/4] linux-imx.inc: move SUMMARY and DESCRIPTION from .inc to .bb's

From: Mario Domenech Goulart <mario at ossystems.com.br>

SUMMARY and DESCRIPTION should really go into recipes (.bb).  Setting
SUMMARY and DESCRIPTION in include files can easily cause recipes' to
be clobbered by the ones set in included files, since they are usually
set before including common files.

A typical example:

  $ cat some-common-file.inc

  DESCRIPTION = "I'll clobber your description"

  $ cat some-recipe.bb

  DESCRIPTION = "I'll get clobbered"

  include some-common-file.inc

Another problematic case is with regard to recipes that include
multiple common files that set SUMMARY and DESCRIPTION (the last
included ones will clobber the previous ones).

That's actually the expected behavior when we include files, but it's
slightly surprising in case of variables like SUMMARY and DESCRIPTION,
which usually are the first ones defined in recipe files (before
`include').
