FWIW, variants of this recipe crop up in pretty much every ARM-based BSP 
layer (e.g. 
https://github.com/alistair23/meta-pine64/blob/master/recipes-bsp/arm-trusted-firmware/arm-trusted-firmware_2.1.bb); 
it seems common enough that a base recipe that each BSP layer can 
bbappend to suite their needs seems like it would be useful?
