If this is in the gstxbac recipe itself, use the much simpler

Even better! While I like that solution best of all, that opens up a
whole new world of hurt for me.
How does
SRCREV_default_pn-gstxbac = "${AUTOREV}"
work? When would I use that over the much simpler solution you proposed?
I am thinking that if I used your solution, I might place
SRCREV_pn-gstxbac = "123" (or a git hash, or whatever)
in my local.conf? in my BSP layer.conf?
I guess I could put
SRCREV_default_pn-gstxbac = "123" in my BSP layer.conf, and then,
later on, on some other project that used the same board, I might put
SRCREV_pn-gstxbac = "${AUTOREV}" in my local.conf, or maybe in a
.bbappend file for my BSP?
How/where does the _pn suffix (middlex?) come into play?
Any time you need to set the variable outside of the recipe itself (.bb* or
.inc),
then you need the _pn-${recipe} syntax.
At this point, I like your solution tremendously, as it makes sense to
me. But I sure would like to understand more about all the myriad
capabilities offered by bitbake.
