[meta-xilinx] meta-xilinx: jethro Branch

[Norbert Belfin]

Hello,

first, thanks for your great work. Second, my questions: what does
'support for the linux-yocto 4.1 kernel mean'? Can I use it like the
linux-xlnx 4.0 kernel together with files generated by Vivado 2015.3?
What is the difference between the linux-xlnx kernel and the linux-yocto
kernel (with the bbappends)?
Background: we use a zynq xc7z010. Currently the development is done
with vivado 2015.2 and 2015.3. The kernel we are using is linux-xlnx 4.0
from the master branch. Is there a reason why not to use linux-yocto 4.1
kernel. If there are no reasons, at which file I can say which kernel to
use. At time I only now how to set which version to use for linux-yocto
or linux-xlnx, but not which of both should be active.
Thanks for your time.
Greetings
     Norbert
