Afaik it is not defined.
There is http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Styleguide
which only says "#
# Use spaces for indentation as developers tends to use different
amount of spaces per one tab. "
now we're just using a different amount of spaces :-)

(actually using different # of spaces for a tab is not that bad as
long as you stick to tabs only. That is why the linux kernel requires
indentig by tabs).

Frans (who also likes tabs, if only because it is the default in vi
with autoindent (and yeah, I know you can change that))
