To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: use poky+meta-clang bitbake llvm

Expected behavior I think there shouldn't be any warnings since clang provides llvm

Additional context the current windriver fix. I find it really confusing. EDIT: we add an override clang-llvm when we build meta-clang dependent recipe such as chromium

I dont get this conflict, so I am at a loss on how this can be re-creared

I have seen the same warning with oe-core/meta-clang master with using meta-security and building clamav from that layer which has

DEPENDS = "... llvm ..."

LLVM in oe-core is still version 12 and meta-clang master moved to LLVM 13. PREFERRED_PROVIDER_llvm[-native] = "clang[-native] in meta-clang works so it's clang that gets built and not the llvm recipe from oe-core. The warning is purely an annoyance.
