iproute2 has the ability to include a tipc tool. When enabled this requires
the libmnl package (formerly supplied by meta-openembedded). So both are
needed at the same time.
The change itself is needed because of the tipc-utils package (in
meta-openembedded) which RDEPENDS on iproute2-tipc. Without this package
the yocto-compat-layer script indicates there is no way for me to have
meta-openembedded pass the checker. This is because meta-openembedded is
not allowed to just enable 'tipc' on it's own. (A layer may not make distro
wide changes without a user saying to do it.) The checker script invokes
bitbake -S none world, which will fail on dependency resolution due to there
being no iproute2-tipc package. The tipc-utils package does not have a way
to check the PACKAGECONFIG of the iproute2 package so disable itself if the
dependency can not be met. So the default system behavior needs to be:
iproute2 w/ tipc enabled
tipc-utils RDEPENDS on iproute2-tipc
