Since we do not directly support the non-LTS branches, customers are
forced to rely on master for projects that make use of those branches.
We are not going to start creating branches for all of the non-LTS
releases, but we can do a better job of having master continue to
support the  branches that are still supported by the Yocto project [1].

Recently we added and removed a patch to support the uboot mainline that
required the python3-yamllint package.  We were not thinking about
customers trying to use the uboot mainline who might be currently locked
into nanbield and not master.

This series seeks to restore that reverted patch and create a system by
which we can schedule the removal of these temporary patches.
Additionaly it updates the compatible layer list to those with active
support by the Yocto project [1].

Thanks for doing this! This is pretty much exactly as we discussed yesterday, 
so besides a minor comment/issue in patch #3, you have my Ack for the series.
