kernel: Permit overriding of KERNEL_IMAGETYPE_FOR_MAKE
PATCH 1/1 kernel: Permit overriding of KERNEL_IMAGETYPE_FOR_MAKE
Commit a1690131691507bbf5853540229b3ad775b836bf removed the ability of recipes to set KERNEL_IMAGETYPE_FOR_MAKE. Fix that by letting recipes continue to set their own KERNEL_IMAGETYPE_FOR_MAKE if they so wish. They may have been doing so for a while, and don't want to have their carefully-selected value trampled on by kernel.bbclass.
This may be required if the recipe itself wants to build one type of kernel, but post-process it into a different type, rather like the vmlinux->vmlinux.gz support provided by kernel.bbclass.
