Thank you for working on this. This indeed is a much better solution
now that OE-Core supports building multiple kernels.

In fact, we ended up fixing[1] the error because of one of our
customers, here at O.S. Systems, required the mfgtool use in an old
branch and then I pushed it on master, sumo and rocko.

1. https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/commit/7a5f1e14504e43bf41ebb9f36cb56bd71cceab32#diff-9b732ab86ef3483bb0e54684c28fd84b

Due to this change, I reworked your commit to applying on top of the
new code and reworded the commit log accordingly.

I applied this to master and sumo. Please give it a go!
