I cannot set it on PN because I have some so-files that is already stripped and others that is not so that was why I wanted to create a package for the already-stripped so-files and use the already-stripped on that package. Anyway thanks for the help I ended up creating a new recipe for the already-stripped so-files. But is all the INSANE_SKIP flags only supported for PN? I think I have seen dev-so used on an package level?

The key point is when the QA test is run. In the case of
"already-stripped", the test is run as part of split_and_strip_files()
in package.bbclass, ie as part of the normal stripping process. As
Ross mentions, it's therefore run before the build output is split
into packages.

The "dev-so" QA test is run as part of do_package_qa() in
insane.bbclass and can be disabled on a per-package basis.

As far as I know, there's no documentation to say which QA tests can
be disabled on a per-package basis and which can not. If you want to
be sure you need to read the source. Start by grepping for the QA test
you are interested in and also for "package_qa_handle_error" (which is
the function which is called when a QA test fails). Those two together
should help locate the place where the QA test is run... and from that
you can inspect the code to see if/how INSANE_SKIP is applied. For
example, in the case of "already-stripped", the test is run from
split_and_strip_files() and only INSANE_SKIP_${PN} is checked:

  http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/classes/package.bbclass?h=sumo#n1010

(In this case, the code could perhaps be even clearer if checking
whether "already-stripped" is found in INSANE_SKIP_${PN} was done once
at the start of the function, rather than being determining again and
again for each file inside the "for every elf file" loop).
