[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] meta-fsl-networking layer manages the packages maintained internally, so the layer can't be upstreamed.

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] For such case, we will consider to move the demo image recipes into meta-fsl-ppc layer.

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] Currently we are working on it, and will publish the staffs publicly when it is ready.
