Why I did it
Allow user to specify a checkout file in make config
Work item tracking
How I did it
Add make config cmdline variable “CHECKOUT_FILE” to allow user specify a checkout file to use. By default it is still looking for platform/checkout/{platform}.init. But can be overwritten by explicitly setting CHECKOUT_FILE. For example “make configure PLATFORM=cisco-8000 CHECKOUT_FILE=/some/path/test.ini” will look for /some/path/test.ini instead of platform/checkout/cisco-8000.ini in build workspace.
