[meta-freescale] Preferred kernel for mx7 machine

[Matija Tuđan]

Hello,

What is the recommended kernel tree for i.MX7 based machines?

The linux-imx repo from codeaurora has the 4.9.88 as newest version:
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx

Additionally, mx7 is not set as compatible machine in linux-fslc_4.17.bb recipe which is based on linux-fslc repo:
https://github.com/Freescale/linux-fslc
which should be forked from mainline kernel repo.

But I have tested the linux-stable repo and 4.18.y version and it works fine:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git

What are the key differences between codeaurora's repo which provides older kernel version and linux-fslc/linux-stable repos.
Which repo should be used when dealing with i.MX7 based machines?

Best regards,
Matija
