PRU-ICSS on AM33x, AM43x, supports different ethernet modes such
as Ethernet, HSR and PRP by means of different firmwares and the
driver loads one of the these firmware. The PRU-ICSS linux driver
may not be available for all kernel versions.
So add an .inc file that avoids the packaging of such firmwares
in the SDK, so that it can be referenced by kernel recipes that
don't support PRU-ICSS.

This is asking for trouble - there's no way to un-do :remove downstream (e.g.
any of the Distro, SDK, Product Line or Customer layers)
It is not recommended to use :remove (and :append to a lesser degree) on a
regular basis when it can be done differently.
Moreover, what is a difference from v2? It is a more convoluted way to drop
those FW images from getting installed, but it is still done unconditionally
here in meta-ti - are there any benefits of doing it this way?
Ravi, I hate to ask this of you as most of the waffling is from me.
But I agree with Denys. I think what we need is the v2 patch, but with
better wording (like what you have in v3) that explains the situation.
Can you put together a new v4 that looks like that?
