Without exceptional justification there is no good reason for layers to have a priority other than 5, to match oe-core. If a layer has a priority higher than oe-core's then recipes in that layer take immediate preference over those in oe-core and there's no simple way to resolve this as that is exactly what is meant to happen. As a concrete example, meta-arm-bsp contains older releases of U-Boot for platforms that have not yet moved to the latest release in oe-core. As the priority of meta-arm-bsp is higher, simply adding this layer to a qemuarm build will immediately downgrade u-boot. As there is no exceptional justification for the differing priorities, unify on 5.

Introduction
This repository contains Arm layers for OpenEmbedded
meta-arm: This layer provides support for general recipes for the Arm architecture. Anything that's not needed explicitly for BSPs, the IOTA distribution, or destined to be upstreamed belongs here.
meta-arm-bsp: This layer provides support for Arm reference platforms
meta-arm-iota: This layer provides support for Arm's IOTA Linux Distribution
meta-arm-toolchain: This layer provides support for Arm's GNU-A toolset releases
meta-arm-autonomy: This layer provides a reference stack for autonomous systems.
Contributing
Currently, we only accept patches from the meta-arm mailing list. For general information on how to submit a patch, please read https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
E-mail meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org with patches created using this process. You can configure git-send-email to automatically use this address for the meta-arm repository with the following git command:
$ git config --local --add sendemail.to meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org
Commits and patches added should follow the OpenEmbedded patch guidelines:
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines
The component being changed in the shortlog should be prefixed with the layer name (without the meta- prefix), for example:
arm-bsp/trusted-firmware-a: decrease frobbing level
arm-toolchain/gcc: enable foobar v2
Reporting bugs
