From: California Sullivan <california.l.sullivan at intel.com>
MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS won't always grab your out-of-tree
module recipe since the kernel recipe's PACKAGES_DYNAMIC variable
provides kernel-module-*. This patch documents that your out-of-tree
module needs to explicitly set its PACKAGES variable to avoid this
behavior.
Fixes [YOCTO #7591]
