We intend to keep one or more upstream branches (i.e. master and gatesgarth) up
to date during the 2021 development.  We'll branch for the 2021 based on
whaetever the matching Yocto Project branch is for that release.  (It likely
won't be master, as the releases are usually based on the last release.)

There are no dunfell versions of Xilinx layers.  It didn't align with the
development schedule.  2020 is based on Zeus.  In progress work is being done on
gatesgarth and master.

It will probably work on Dunfell, but there is nobody, to my knowledge, who is
actually testing this combination.

Go off the branch name for compatibility.

gatesgarth -> gatesgarth
master -> master

Anything declared in the layer itself will "probably work", but is not being 
tested.
