[yocto] any point in a single machine recipe using a machine-specific file?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  using the example i patched earlier, here's the file hierarchy for
raspberry pi's netbase recipe:

./netbase_5.0.bbappend
./netbase-5.0
./netbase-5.0/raspberrypi
./netbase-5.0/raspberrypi/interfaces
./netbase-5.0/raspberrypi/hosts

  i understand the notion of a machine-specific subdirectory for
files, such as what you'd find under a layer like meta-ti which
defines multiple machines, so this is understandable for meta-ti:

.
./netbase_5.0.bbappend
./netbase-5.0
./netbase-5.0/beagleboard
./netbase-5.0/beagleboard/interfaces

  but in the case of the rpi, is there any value in putting the files
under a machine-named subdirectory? of course it won't hurt, but is
there any point to it?
