[yocto] Rocko and Circular Dependencies

[Barry Grussling]

It does have a custom layer in it.  I am also using meta-linaro.  I have tried
to reproduce it in the stock configuration and have not been successful.

It isn't yet obvious to me what I am doing in my layer that is causing
the cirular reference in the base layers.  I will keep digging and see
what I can
learn.  I am not adding any custom tasks (add task) or anything like that.

I will work on adding my layer back in piece by piece and see if I can figure
out what the trigger criteria is.
