[yocto] [meta-raspberrypi] linux-raspberrypi versions

[piotr.lewicki]

Hi all,

I also think that's a good idea. In my opinion we should at least make 
latest LTS (4.4) the default kernel and try to add latest mainline.

Probably the "proper way" of dealing with the issue is using branches. 
This way (as it is in oe-core): jethro would have kernel 3.18 and 4.1, 
krogoth would have 4.4 and 4.1 and master would only have 4.4 and latest 
mainline.

Don't you think that it would be a good idea to create some "quasi" 
krogoth branch out of what is on master and then cleaning the master 
(e.g. removing kernel 3.18 and 4.1) ?


BR,

Piotr
