  i think we're agreeing here -- my point is that there is no value to
the meta-fsl-arm layer containing .bbappend files for which there is
no *requirement* that there be the underlying .bb files that
correspond to them. so either the meta-fsl-arm layer should add a
LAYERDEPENDS entry for meta-qt5, or the qt5 stuff should be moved out
of meta-fsl-arm.
