I wasnt trying to learn about what DISTRO_FEATURES are, I was trying
to draw attention to the fact that meta-rpi being a BSP layer
was trying to define a lot more than a BSP layer is supposed to do. So
if its a distro feature, I would like it to work as expected on other
machines besides raspberrypi. If thats not applicable then we should
rethink if it could be folded into MACHINE_FEATURES if it needs to be
a distro feature then propose it to OE-Core, at the very least
document them in README of this layer. Or separate it out into a
common layer which rpi BSPs will depend on.
but think beyond single machine when deciding on adding distro
features, there are distros based on OE which support multiple
machines
