The reason is to support developing user-space applications related

to TFLite directly on the target device. This provides additional 
flexibility

for users who want to compile and test TFLite-based applications

on-target without solely relying on the SDK.

The approach is implemented in the meta-tisdk layer [0]

Add FILES:${PN}-dev to properly assign development files:
   - ${includedir}/* for TensorFlow Lite headers
   - libdir}/lib*.so for unversioned shared library symlinks

Thanks for the insights.
Yes there's no need for these changes as it is already

part of defaults.  Also, without these changes the headers are

included in the rootfs. So this patch can be ignored/rejected.
