[yocto] [meta-rockchip][PATCH 2/7] machine: Add machine file for the rk3288 linux Boards

[Jacob Chen]

Hi all,


Sorry, I found that rk-linux.inc could be moved to distro conf .....

I know why you guys are opposed to it now.

I will remove it from machine conf,  but i'm still confused about 
whether TUNES is machines specific or distro
specific.
