Unless something has changed since I last looked at this, I don't think
so. 

If I remember correctly, capemgr basically consists of a number of
patches not in the mainline kernel (and also not in TI's staging
kernel). I haven't checked it, by I doubt that we have them in the
linux-yocto kernel. (Especially as the last time I checked it, you had
to revert to a 3.8 (if I rember correctly, it might have been an even
earlier kernel) kernel to get full capemgr support.

If this has changed, then it'd be interesting to know!

Cheers,
Anders
