currently, the BSP guide seems quite adamant that a BSP layer *must*
have a top-level README file, but at least a couple of the meta-intel
sublayers (meta-tlk, meta-n450) have no such file. so should that
alleged requirement be, you know, dropped?

There recently was a concern that we document the requirements of a BSP layer so that it could be considered Yocto-compliant. The BSP guide does lay out the "must" word in that new section where it talks about the README File. Is it really required? Opinions?

Here is some more information on this topic. All layers are not BSP layers (i.e the meta-tlk layer is not a BSP). Regarding the real question as to whether a BSP layer *must* have a README file to be considered Yocto-compliant, I have been told that it does need the file.

The compliance document indicates that all layers must contain a README that
specifies a minimum set of information.
"all layers contain a README file which details the origin of the layer, its
maintainer, where to submit changes, and any dependencies or version requirements"
The BSP document may require additional information as well. I found what I
think is good example of this type of README file in:

Ok - this helps to further clarify things.
