There have been a few requests for the linux-xlnx 3.19/xilinx-v2015.2
recipe in fido, I finished testing it to a reasonable enough state
that I went ahead and backported the linux-xlnx_3.19.bb commits to
fido. So you should now be able to update your fido branch and use the
3.19/xilinx-v2015.2 kernel.

However I did not backport the change which made the default version
3.19, so everyone's existing fido setups will not change. In order to
use 3.19 kernel use the PREFERRED_VERSION override as Richard has
demonstrated.

PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-xlnx = "3.19%"
