Does this mean this is a rock-chips driven effort?

Good to see such (vendor) support, welcome aboard, but please understand
the "layers" system of Yocto, like the others already pointed out in this
email thread.

- Basically you create a (BSP) layer, that sits on top of Yocto /
OpenEmbedded core.
- Also, it is good practice to also support the same GIT branch names for
the different Yocto releases (such as krogoth, morty) such that users can
easily match the correct branches so that everything just builds correctly.

Leon.
