If you are planning to use rel-v2018.x Xilinx tools release branches, stick with all the layers provided by Xilinx. The same is documented in wiki as well

http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/How%20to%20build%20images%20through%20yocto

If you want to use Yocto open-source release stick with branches likes rocko, morty etc. These branches will not have dependencies on Xilinx tools.

Didn’t get what you mean here? Package version is set according to the release under use
https://github.com/Xilinx/meta-xilinx-tools/blob/master/classes/xsctapp.bbclass#L9

This should indicate, release version with a part of commit id of git being used.

Yes Xilinx does not support multilib way of building PMUFW. The official support is in meta-xilinx-tools layer with a dependency on xsct tool
