Qualcomm, I know that one :( As integrator for a product
you must minimize the impact of the BSP SW delivery and thus allow only
bootloader, kernel and low level libraries to be compiled using the
BSP vendor delivery, e.g. their meta layers. I BBMASK away most of their
high level SW changes, e.g. systemd and other odd patches which I don't need.
At Daimler, I put my foot down, and forced them to cleanly rewrite the
BSP into an actual BSP layer before we would set up official builds
with it. It took several months, but eventually we got there.
