Thanks for filing the request, it's been assigned to me and I'll try to
get to it as soon as I can.

In the meantime, I guess what I'd suggest is that you start by copying
the valleyisland bsp you're interested in and modifying it to suit your
needs.  This is essentially what users had to do before yocto-bsp
existed and is the reason it was created - to take all the cut-and-paste
drudgery out of that exercise.

> Nothing that you're doing wrong, it's just that the valleyisland BSPs are built a little differently from the normal BSPs - instead of a machine branch, they do a merge of a valleyisland-io branch into another branch and the yocto-bsp tools aren't set up to do that.  They'd need to be enhanced to enhanced to handle cases like that.  I'd suggest filing a an enhancement bug so we can add that capability..
