I wasn't sure on this one. These are new BSPs and until linux-yocto-dev
works for them, there is nothing. They currently use common-pc, but they
will be getting a lot of attention over the next couple of weeks to
flesh them out to support the majority of the existing BSPs in
meta-intel currently. So for that... I had left it as =. When the kernel
locks down, we'll move these to whatever that version is and leave the
preferred provider to a ?= linux-yocto.
