Hello Alex, with DKMS, do you mean cross-compiling out-of-kernel modules on the build machine (that runs the Yocto/OpenEmbedded driven build)?
Or do you mean provisioning the target with enough tools to allow compiling out-of-kernel modules there from source? In the first case, yes, I can share such recipe for reasonably recent releases.
