[OE-core] run ptest for specific packages or layers

[Markus Boos]

Hi

We faced the problem that our image (built with ptest feature) doesn't fit into our flash [1].
I'd like to run the ptest on real hardware cause some packages need the mounted FPGA functionality.

What is the best way to proceed?

Extend the ptest class [2] to read in a "local_ptest.conf" which is whitelisting layer or packages where ptest should be built for?

Or is there another solution or proposal how to proceed?

Best regards
Markus
