Don't use _prepend but =. BEFORE the other includes in your machine 
configuration files otherwise the order in MACHINEOVERRIDES is incorrect. Do 
NOT use append, or .=, they result in incorrect order too.

I do use this mechanism because we kind of use Yocto machines the wrong way 
(basically using machines instead of distros or more complex images).

I think NXP is making extensive use of this variable by defining a 
MACHINEOVERRIDES per SoC families (e.g. imx:imx8:imx8mm).

I'm not sure we need to explain all possible uses of OVERRIDES variables, just 
how to set it and how it works.

Hope this helps,
Quentin
