[OE-core] two recipes, one replaces files of another

[Dvorkin Dmitry]

Thanks!

The problem is that this two machines are the same, except only one 
configuration file.
Bootloader files are build for two machines with the same image. Linux 
kernel is the same the small  difference is in two separate DTS files only.
Everything else is the same.
I don't like dirty hacks. If somebody knows the good way to set 
preference in non-root configuration files - please, advice me.
