Just a heads up that this is *not* equivalent.

The use of ??= meant that any ?= (and ??=) parsed anywhere before that line is 
meant that it would set the default values, and then we would append to those 
default values tpm.

Now by merging those into a single ?=, a previous ?= will override this new ?= 
operator, meaning tpm won't make  it to the PACKAGECONFIG even if the 
MACHINE_FEATURES is set to tpm/tpm2. Also, an earlier ??= won't do anything 
anymore.

Whether that's an actual issue, I don't know, but you may break users.

Merging the two += into a single one would truly be equivalent.

The old value _was_ very un-idiomatic but the replacement is too.

However:

PACKAGECONFIG ??= "${@bb.utils.contains_any('MACHINE_FEATURES', 'tpm tpm2', 
'tpm', '', d)}”

Is idiomatic and whilst a change of behaviour, it has the expected behaviour.  
Can you use ??= and clarify that whilst this changes the behaviour in edge 
cases, what we prefer is consistency between recipes.

I missed one of the "?", and playing with bitbake-getvar was leading to the same results, but yes, this needs to be fixed. I will send a v2 fixing this and other slight issues with the commit message in another patch (the second one, IIRC).

That said, I'd still appreciate some feedback on the third patch with regards to Clang support (cc Richard and Khem). Thanks!
