Those are of less concern since linux-xlnx is supported by Xilinx.
Just wanted to make sure that the level of churn/stability that
linux-xlnx master has is acceptable for you use case.

Tracking/pinning a commit of the master branch during your development
and then going into production with a linux-xlnx release makes for a
good plan. And given your schedule you have plenty of time to pickup
the next released linux-xlnx kernel.
