What is the issue with the auto-generated one from oe-init-build-env?

The order of operations follows auto.conf first, then local.conf. The auto-generated local.conf from oe-init-build-env sets a default machine value which would overwrite the machine set in auto.conf.
In the absence of this step, we would get this behavior:
abinjose@hu-abinjose-hyd:/local/mnt/workspace/projects/software-images/ws-repo/build$ cat conf/local.conf | grep ^MACHINE
MACHINE ??= "qemux86-64"
abinjose@hu-abinjose-hyd:/local/mnt/workspace/projects/software-images/ws-repo/build$ bitbake -e | grep ^MACHINE=
MACHINE="qemux86-64"
abinjose@hu-abinjose-hyd:/local/mnt/workspace/projects/software-images/ws-repo/build$ rm conf/local.conf
abinjose@hu-abinjose-hyd:/local/mnt/workspace/projects/software-images/ws-repo/build$ bitbake -e | grep ^MACHINE=
MACHINE="qcs9100-ride-sx"I'll update the comments in the script.
Users expect local.conf to remain unchanged after it is created, as this file is intended for their own custom modifications. To support this behavior, the configuration generated from the kas configuration files can be written to auto.conf instead of local.conf. Signed-off-by: Abin Joseph <abinjose@qti.qualcomm.com>
