Hi Mikko,

Do you have an example on how you do that ? Do you bbapend the
linux-libc-headers recipe file ?
I have an application that uses dmabuf heap that potentially extends
across multiple BSP's as its BSP agnostic. I don't want to be patching
individual BSP recipes and generating headers. The issue I am facing
is due to backporting the patch from 5.6 to 5.4 so the required header
isn't a part of the linux-libc-headers.bb recipe. Best would have been
a virtual/kernel-keaders target that applications that require BSP
headers would add to their recipe DEPENDS. Why is this not a solved
issue by yocto project ? Why do individual BSP's need to deal with
this differently  when the header install mechanism (make
headers_install) is the same irrespective of the type of BSP ?
