+# Here we pull in all various kernel image types which we support.

+# In case you're wondering why kernel.bbclass inherits the other image
+# types instead of the other way around, the reason for that is to
+# maintain compatibility with various currently existing meta-layers.
+# By pulling in the various kernel image types here, we retain the
+# original behavior of kernel.bbclass, so no meta-layers should get
+# broken.
+#
+# KERNEL_CLASSES by default pulls in kernel-uimage.bbclass, since this
+# used to be the default behavior when only uImage was supported. This
+# variable can be appended by users who implement support for new kernel
+# image types.
