We have a few recipes which only deploy files that go into the boot partition
and do not create packages to be installed into the rootfs. These recipes don't
need to run the usual packaging tasks so we can drop them to speed up the build
a little.
We also have a bunch of recipes that don't need the usual toolchain as they just
copy files or invoke native commands like `mkimage`. So to speed up the build a
little more we can set INHIBIT_DEFAULT_DEPS to avoid an unnecessary dependency
on the toolchain.

If I am not mistaken, many desktops (kde/lxqt/xfce..) use udisks2 to ask for
devices which can be mounted. Without this patch the initial boot partition
can be mounted by a single click on folder displayed on desktop or file manager.
Why it is suggested to add this recipe to an image:
* It removes annoying icon in desktop/file manager.
* The initial boot partition is vfat. Unpriviledged users can modify
content. E.g by removing files accidently, images can be turned into
non-booting condition easily. And from security point of view, it is a
disaster.
FWIW: Have similar in all my BSPs vor very long time.
