The out of tree build has caused some headache in one of our internal
customer layers; it was indeed caused by a "bug" in the respective
recipe but I think it is worth mention that it now builds using out of
tree in the commit log so people are aware.

There are two things which has catch my attention here:

 * filename uglyness: the filename in deploy dir is using the
UBOOT_MACHINE however the UBOOT_CONFIG 'name' would be better as it is
more meaningful.

 * difficulty to figure the binary when generating the rootfs: in
meta-fsl-arm, for example, we generate the .sdcard rootfs and using
the patch we now have...

Do you have any idea how we could address those issues?
