OpenBMC enables SPDX SBOM generation by default. For Meta's Bletchley
platform we found that mdio-tools and its relationships with both
mdio-netlink and the mdio-netlink kernel module break SPDX processing
while generating the rootfs after a kernel bump. For example, the
following output was generated by `bitbake obmc-phosphor-image`:
ERROR: obmc-phosphor-image-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Cannot find any SPDX file for document http://spdx.org/spdxdoc/kernel-module-mdio-netlink-6.5.4-da279e9-00089-gda279e98c07f-89187488-3164-50cb-94c5-8b76a30ea093
The error occurred after the following patch was applied (again, in the
context of OpenBMC):

With the lack of a dependency the mdio-tools package is not rebuilt
subsequent to the kernel bump and the package information remains stale,
leading to an incorrect SPDX path being generated.
