+      :ref:`ref-classes-kernel-yocto` class. The following list of features are
+      supported:
+
+      -  ``prefer-modules``: prefer a kernel configuration to be set as ``m``
+         instead of the default value ``y`` if the kernel configuration was
+         defined as follows::
+
+            CONFIG_FOO=y # OVERRIDE:$MODULE_OR_Y
+
+      The default value of this variable is an empty string.
+
    :term:`KTYPE`
