What's the plan for the default FSL kernel in fido?

If it's 3.14, then it seems unlikely that folks will be using 3.10.53.

Can you clarify what you mean by 'it'?

If you're referring to 3.10.53 recipe for Freescale kernel, the
tag/branch in git.freescale.com should be sufficient.

Looking at Otavio's patch set, it appears that the changes include
both kernel updates as well as some remaining packages (firmware-imx,
imx-test, and such) that are named to reflect the kernel version
numbering.

Having those old recipes around is probably more useful than the
kernel, since I don't think they're all backed by proper git
repositories.

How about just tagging/branching meta-fsl-* with a 3.10.53 name to
make it easy to grab the set from before the switch?

Regards,
