You are not only using the chip you are also using peripherals integrated in that chip. Such are the gpio's video, hdmi, etc. Those are controled by the kernel. Kernels > 3.10 use device trees to configure peripherals, kernels < 3.10 use sysfs to configure them. It's more complicated. If you decide to use the standard youcto build from ti you will be fine but you will loose compatibility with tools built for newer kernels.
