Any interest in moving to a newer/different kernel ? The
supported kernel for yocto is at 2.6.34 and I'll have a
-dev tree tracking 2.6.37 shortly.

My interest is getting more BSPs using the same kernel
version so we can leverage the common set of issues,
bug fixes, CVEs, etc. It also helps me streamline the
BSP bootstrapping process, which is a primary focus of
mine at the moment.
