We are currently working on ARM SystemReady compliance and we are using poky as a test Linux distro on multiple devices. But despite the claim that the genericarm64 machine will work on most SystemReady devices, we realized that the kernel lacks critical drivers. E.g. on a Raspberry PI with SystemReady compatible firmware, the network will not come up. The arm64 configuration in the mainline kernel repository is a lot more generic and is also used by ARM in their own compliance test images. As more and more platforms are adopting SystemReady, I think it will be a lot easier to rely on the in-tree config then maintaining a completely separate kernel configuration inside poky. Currently it is mandatory to also set KCONFIG_MODE despite 'alldefconfig' being the default according to the documentation. I submitted another patch to openembedded-core to fix that behaviour.
