[yocto] does a BSP layer *require* a README file?

Ok - this helps to further clarify things.

The compliance document indicates that all layers must contain a README that 
specifies a minimum set of information.

"all layers contain a README file which details the origin of the layer, its 
maintainer, where to submit changes, and any dependencies or version requirements"

The BSP document may require additional information as well.  I found what I 
think is good example of this type of README file in:
   http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-baryon/tree/README
