Fragments are processed later in the build procedure. Assuming
this is a linux-yocto based bbappend, they'll be added in the 
kernel_configme
task, and will modify the base BSP configuration.

That doesn't mean that all the settings will make it to the final
.config, since normal LKC processing and missing dependencies would
drop invalid/incorrect settings.
