Should the devmem2 recipe move to oe-core?
I was poking at the layer index and ran across this:
http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/recipes/?q=devmem
The recipe appears in 4 layers.
Should we just move it to openembedded-core? I wonder how easy it would be to have the layer index report duplicate recipes?

The busybox version appears to be better maintained (it's gained support for 64bit data types, which is still missing from the original), so maybe better to recommend the busybox version instead.

I think there is "some issue" with the busybix version, possibly related to automatic readback after write. I'll ask around.

I asked some guys that actually use devmem2 and their comment was that the "improvements" to the busybox version undermine some operations in ways that make it less useful than the original.
