Great! I fully agree.

Use SUMMARY as the descriptions here are small. DESCRIPTION is used
for long and detailed description of a package and this has different
visuals in Hob and Toaster. So use SUMMARY.

I'd use

SUMMARY = "Linux mainline based kernel with backported features and fixes"

I'd add it in the kernel recipe bb file, not in the .inc. We shouldn't
guess the description for the user.

Apart from that the patch is nice. This does simplifies our release
notes maintenance in long term. :-)
