android hwpack config support in the build
Why?
We want to remove the hardcoded data from other components like l-a-m-c and LAVA. These hwpack will provide the necessary meta info needed to set the right bootargs to the build.
Context?
Engineering Builds rework
where will the work get put ?
It will be part of build artifact and will be used by l-a-m-c to flash the image.
