[Bug] keyboard info.json vs. user keymap.json config precedence

[rhruiz]

Describe the Bug

Should config in a user keymap.json be able to override features in the keyboard's info.json?

My scenario: I was trying to disable rgblight by setting config.features.rgblight to false and change the bootlader from caterina to qmk-dfu by setting config.bootloader to qmk-dfu to match how my promicros are flashed.

Since the qmk cli generates both the keyboard's and my keymap's rules.mk with directives like BOOTLOADER ?= qmk-dfu and the keyboard-level rules.mk are loaded before my keymap's, my keymap-level rules do not override the keyboard value.

This is the opposite behaviour of when I use my own keymap.c+rules.mk with directives like BOOTLOADER = qmk-dfu and RGBLIGHT_ENABLE = no

#21960 should hopefully fix the issue.
