I just pushed the fixed patch to the end of zedd/kernel:
--------------------------

linux-yocto/kernel-meta: ktype refactoring: move DEBUG_KERNEL,
EXPERT and EMBEDDED
Integrating the folliwing patch series from Cal:
This patch series refactors the ktypes so that base and standard
ktypes
do not enable EMBEDDED, EXPERT, or DEBUG_KERNEL. The reason this
decision was made is because production platforms likely do not want
DEBUG_KERNEL enabled, and EMBEDDED selects EXPERT which selects
DEBUG_KERNEL.
A new ktype called "developer" was also created. This ktype
enables the options now missing from standard and base, making it
easy
to maintain the functionality of a BSP through simply swapping
the ktype
from standard to developer. The preempt-rt ktype is now based off of
developer in order to maintain its functionality.
The new standard ktype does not include EMBEDDED, EXPERT, or
DEBUG_KERNEL. Without DEBUG_KERNEL it loses a number of debug
features
that are selected by default. Without EXPERT it gains
RFKILL_INPUT and
DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT, while losing VMSPLIT_3G. These are only
available to
configure with CONFIG_EXPERT=y and default to EXPERT or !EXPERT. Not
selecting EMBEDDED has no apparent impacts.
Some coordination is required for this change, as existing BSPs
WILL be
affected, and will either need to accept the changes in the standard
ktype or move to the developer ktype.
California Sullivan (12):
features/debug: add debug-kernel feature
ktypes: add developer ktype
ktypes/base: Disable EMBEDDED and DEBUG_KERNEL
CONFIG_PROCESSOR_SELECT: do not enable
intel-common-drivers.scc: move profiling and latencytop to a
new file
romley.scc remove profiling and latencytop features
bsp/intel-common: add intel-core* developer BSPs
preempt-rt.scc: include developer ktype instead of standard
intel-common: add intel-developer-drivers.scc to preempt-rt BSPs
CONFIG_I2C_I801: set option to yes in intel-core* BSPs
bsp: add developer common-pc BSPs
bsp: remove profiling and latencytop from non-developer
common-pc BSPs
