Ok I understand.

Yes here is what I'm planning to do for v2:
- modify 3.14.38 kernel recipe to target nitrogen6x only
- remove nitrogen6qp_max machine patch
- add a PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-boundary to 3.14.28 for nitrogen6x.conf
  - explaining in the commit log how to switch to 3.14.38-6qp when needed
- keep u-boot and u-boot-script bumps (removing machine compatible
changes though)
  - those bumps do not break compatibility with any other platform

Let me know if you're ok with this approach.

Regards,
Gary
