[yocto] what is the "simplest unit of kernel Metadata"?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  kernel dev manual, section 3.4.1, claims:

"The simplest unit of kernel Metadata is the configuration-only
feature. This feature consists of one or more Linux kernel
configuration parameters in a configuration fragment file (.cfg) and a
.scc file that describes the fragment."

  that pretty clearly suggests that .cfg fragment files *must* be
accompanied by a related .scc file. but earlier in that same manual,
some examples use only .cfg files:

     FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
     SRC_URI += "file://8250.cfg"

so how should that be worded?
