Yes, it is. At least IMHO. Technically, you have three ways of creating a
YP BSP layer:

   - Build it manually from scratch by creating the directory tree and
   populate it with the configuration files, recipes, readme files, etc. that
   you need.
   - Copy an existing BSP layer that supports a machine that is similar to
   the one you are trying to support.
   - Use the yocto-bsp script to create one and then eventually the
   yocto-kernel script to modify the kernel configuration if you are
   leveraging the YP kernel.
