u-boot: remove UBOOT_MACHINE and COMPATIBLE_MACHINES
oe-core does not define any machines, so it does not make sense to add machine specific information in the oe-core u-boot recipe and infrastructure. Also note that COMPATIBLE_MACHINES is not easily extended due to its regex syntax: "(machine_a|machine_b)", making it difficult to extend the u-boot recipe in bbappend files without resorting to machine specific overrides. Remove COMPATIBLE_MACHINES and the default UBOOT_MACHINE from the recipe and insert some anonymous python into u-boot.inc to raise SkipPackage if UBOOT_MACHINE is not set (this ensures 'world' still works for machines that can't build u-boot). UBOOT_MACHINE must now be specified in each machine config that requires u-boot. This is an improvement over requiring machine specific overrides in every BSP layer's u-boot_git.bbappend file. For example, a beagleboard machine config currently contains: UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT = "0x80008000" UBOOT_LOADADDRESS = "0x80008000" With this change, it must now contain: UBOOT_MACHINE = "omap3_beagle_config" UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT = "0x80008000" UBOOT_LOADADDRESS = "0x80008000" So long as the SRC_URI in the base recipe can build a working u-boot for a given machine, there is no need to create a u-boot_git.bbappend file. If additional patches are deemed necessary, a BSP layer creates a u-boot_git.bbappend file and extends the SRC_URI to include general or machine specific backports. Note: I used bb.note() instead of bb.debug() to ensure the message at least makes it to the console. From what I could gather, bb.debug() doesn't go anywhere during recipe parsing.
