* needed to copy over the oe-core kernel-module classes
and modify them because there was no other way to use them and
name the packages kernel-module-backports

This means that currently only Yocto Dora and Yocto Master are
being targeted. The amount of maintenance to get it to work on
Edison again is too high and it is better to focus on a systemd
only world. Remove the symlinks for yocto-edison.
A quick look and some notes from henning pointed me to wget
which is in the default layers, the sysmobts-2050 which is now
handle dby sysmobts and some older notes that are unlikely
to be addressed.
Okay "make modules" will lead to the kernel.release file
being re-created. So kernel.bbclass of Yocto master needs
to be fixed.
This reverts commit 3cdbc49cbb.
Somehow the do_shared_workdir tries to access a file that
should be created by do_configure but isn't present then.
Add these items to see what happens during the build.
We want to use backported modules this means we need to make
some thing a module for it to work. Take Daniel's .config file,
run make savedefconfig and update our defconfig.

Go back to have our own do_configure. The kernel.bbclass would
execute "oldnoconfig" where we simply executed "oldconfig". Keep
on using our old way (for the legacy of it). E.g. with the question
how we ended up having SMP enabled in the BSC build this might
be the answer.
OE-Core seems to unpack the kernel sources into another
directory now (e.g. to share the sources with builds for
modules). Use the kernel.bbclass kernel_do_configure and
copy the .config to the build directory.
The kernel is now built in a dedicated build directory.
We actually only use the PMIC (TPS65910) RTC in the hardware,
and not the AM335x RTC. Having a driver for a hardware that doesn't
receive actual backup voltage doesn't make sense.
The odu-gpiotool is a small script created by roh to selectively reset
individual peripherals of the system by the administrator. It originates
from ticket https://projects.sysmocom.de/ortelius/issues/655
We use the new sysfs file to obtain the board version number and
configure the port swapping accordingly. If the board_version sysfs
attribute is not present, we default to v2.
We also integrate resetting the hub chip from within this tool right
befeore writing the new register values via I2C.
* split out rtl-nic firmware from the big
linux-firmware package
[hfreyther: For whatever reasons the NIC works without
additional firmware as well. I couldn't see in the driver
source when that is the case and which features are missing]
Fixes: SYS#732
[hfreyther: I removed the MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS as applications
that use the symlinks should rdepend on the package]
[hfreyther: Changed mismatch of tabs/spaces]
We want to enable the watchdog in the bootloader already and
for this to be failsafe we need to have a kernel that can boot
and get ethernet without any additional modules. Now systemd
would not be able to trigger the watchdog and the system would
reboot within 60 seconds. I am not sure how the kernel upgrade
will go and we need to try this.

We have changed the strategy to support multiple BTS with a single
build but don't remove support from files that are used with Edison.
Linux 3.10 and systemd were not used with edison though. So we can
remove it. As the sysmobts-2050 extended the sysmobts-v2 build most
of the -sysmobts-2050 changes are not needed anyway.
This variable doesn't exist on dora and will not break things.
Fixes:
ERROR: Please ensure module rtfifo is listed in KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF since module_conf_rtfifo is set
The sysmobts-2050 machine does inherit from the generic bts so
we do not need an exact copy of the configuration file.
The watchdog is not used in dora or later images as this functionality
is integrated into the systemd.

If the year is smaller than < 2014 an initial date will be set. This
has been manually verified by copying ntpdate to ntpdate.off and making
sure that the VPN is coming up. Due the short SSL lifetime of CACert
we will need to update the script once in a while. But our VPN should
now always come up.
systemd doesn't look in /etc/rcS.d for init scripts so we never
start networking unless we are using ifplugd. We need to check
how this behves on the sysmobts and sysmobsc in case the network
is being started twice.
* to be able to mount vfat formatted
usbsticks we need the nls subsystem
* providing nls as modules is a bad idea because
you need to add them at image creation
* better include them into the kernel,
like the kernel for bts and bts-2050 does
We will change the MTD partitioning for our devices soon. The
kernel needs to honor the cmdline given by the kernel for that.
The rootfs will move a few pages to the back with newer bootloaders.
